* or at least that's the behavior I get with the Standard edition. Which leaves you back at only remaining option of handing off the device to Parallels direct control at the hardware level, rendering it invisible to MacOS and needing the Windows ARM64 drivers If you configure one that way then the Parallels menu Devices list does show a serial port entry and does show that its being pointed at that cu device - it'll even complain if you then open a connection using that port on the mac side of things (which kinda proves it is aware of it and knows that it should be making use of it)īut it never goes the last mile to enumerate it to the system in order to create an entry in Win 10 device manager, so as far as any serial app running on the Windows VM is concerned there is no COM port On M1 adding a serial port to Parralels by pointing at the cu device on the MacOS side doesn't really work*: You then just need the appropriate Windows 10 x86/64 driver to use them within Windows which all three brands have. Under x86 Windows 7/10 on an intel mac any recent build of Big Sur should enumerate all three of those devices on connection to the mac and Parallels should then be able to have them assigned to be under its' control rather than MacOS.
#Mac driver for serial port to usb adapter install
Silicon Labs CP2104 has an ARM64 one as part of their universal driver file for Windows - however the ARM64 driver in there doesn't have an installer You'd need to do an old fashioned driver update/locate manually/point to the folder you extracted the archive to style install Once its installed you'd also need to access the drivers power management settings and turn off the option to have windows turn the device off to save power (or the device will just endlessly restart)

Prolific PL2303 don't have an ARM64 Prolific driver

If so then while FTDI, Prolific and Silicon Labs are all supported on the Big Sur side of things, the same isn't true of Windows for ARM itself: using a Windows for ARM insider release under Parallels 16.5 ?

Are you trying to do this with the M1 mac in your signature?
