The first thing I'd do is make sure you can connect to your external device using the Host OS directly. Since you're on a Mac you can use screen from the command line (since you're using 9600 baud):

If that doesn't work then you're dead in the water.

Then make sure your host's serial port is exposed to your Virtual client. From your host Virtualbox settings you'll need to pass through your serial port (like here https://superuser.com/questions/436049/how-to-use-host-serial-port-from-guest-in-virtualbox).

Connection

In Putty then you should be able to connect to the COM port you passed through.

Had this problem and found the solution.Putty wont open a connection from the 'Serial' tab in the left column.Choose 'Session' instead and select the checkbox for Serial.

Requirements

You have assembled your Arduino* expansion board or your mini breakout expansion board, installed the appropriate drivers, and flashed the OS image (formerly called firmware).

Set Up PuTTY

  1. Download the PuTTY terminal emulator: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe.
  2. Apply a right mouse-click on the putty.exe file and select Run as administrator.
  3. Configure the PuTTY menu as follows:
    1. Under Connection type, select Serial.
    2. In the Serial line field, enter the COM# for your board, such as COM7.
      Note: If you did not identify your COM# when setting up your board, navigate to the Device Manager and check for an entry called USB Serial Port (not Intel Edison Virtual Com Port). The COM# is displayed next to the USB Serial Port entry, as highlighted below.

    3. In the Speed field, type 115200.
  4. Click Open.
  5. When you see a blank screen, press the Enter key twice. A login prompt is displayed.
  6. At the login prompt, type root and press Enter.
  7. Press Enter when prompted for a password. You should see a terminal prompt.

You have now established a serial communication with your board. You can interact with your board by entering common Linux commands. For a summary of useful commands, see Common commands for the Intel® Edison board.
