USB Serial issue with minicom 2.7.1?

A few days ago, I bought some usb to serial modules (FT232) and tried to use with my MacBook to control a hardware via console. I downloaded and installed the latest driver provided by FTDI (version 2.4.2) and also installed minicom 2.7.1 from homebrew.


Unfortunately, when I connect Macbook to the board, it hasn't any responses and my terminal window is blank. But, it still works if I connect to another PC.


I just updated to macOS Catalina and haven't tried it with previous MacOS version.


Has anyone had the same problem?

It's solved. In serial port setup, Lockfile Location field must be pointed to a folder which current user could have permission.

I will close this question.


Thank you.
