Description
For interfacing the HyperV machines with the isotovideo in openQA, there's need to redirect the serial console to a NamedPipe. These NamedPipes, are files used by Microsoft and cannot be accessed from the outside by the Linux hosts.
Right now, we're running a third-party app which is not supported and/or updated since a while: https://shvechkov.tripod.com/nptp.html
The idea is to create an app in Python, managed by us so we do not miss control over the situation and can debug future failures like poo#160733.
I've started to work on it and it's very advanced, but needs some refinement to handle connections, disconnections and re-connections.
