@penguin42@mastodon.org.uk The function I need is not exactly a passtrough in this case: I have nothing connected to the host I want to pass trough. It's more QEMU emulating for me, and the guest OS connecting to the emulated device.
I heard the functionality is potentially not enabled on all QEMU builds.. I think I saw it on Fedora, but then infusing it into virsh so that executes qemu-kvm correctly is another thing.

@globalc@chaos.social Oh, I thought you were trying to pass your power monitor thing through; if you want something in the guest that looks like a serial almost, but connects to something on the host, then try the 'add serial' or 'add channel' - those both give you options of what to connect to, e.g. a host pty or host unix socket; then you can run whatever you like on those.
