Depends on what your software does concerning the hardware.
Inside a virtual machine most hardware is emulated so there is no real
"metal" there. Serial ports are redirected from the host if so set up
in the settings but at which level this is fdone I don't know. Quite
possibly it is not low enough for your purposes. Only testing will
tell.
