Jan 1, 2021 at 3:38 comment added Karu @natevw Hm.. my first instinct is that something is fouled up with the terminal configuration. If you use /bin/screen, can you get any text to appear on the console at all? If even that doesn't work, your system just isn't communicating with it and you need to look further down the stack.
Oct 30, 2020 at 5:08 comment added natevw UPDATE: after adding an :nc option to the std:ttyUSB entry (to avoid an immediate "Hangup: 1" log), I am able to run sudo /usr/libexec/getty std.ttyUSB tty.Repleo-PL2303-NNNN without error — however I am not getting any signs of life on the terminal itself.
Oct 30, 2020 at 4:36 comment added natevw Is this still working? I'm trying to set this up on Mojave (10.14.6 specifically) and am just getting getty login_tty /dev/cu.Repleo-PL2303-NNNNNNNNN: Operation not permitted in the console logs each time it tries to start up.
