I am trying to set up SSH over USB to Serial.
I am using:
- MacBook Pro (OS X 10.15.1)
- Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (Raspbian 9.11)
- EVISWIY PL2303TA USB to TTL Serial Cable Debug Console Cable for Raspberry Pi 3 (Amazon Link)
I have installed the cable driver however i did notice when i downloaded it that they did not mention support for the Catalina OS (Driver Download) however it does list support for High Sierra 10.15...
Cable is plugged in as so (Im colorblind so just making sure i didn't make a mistake there):
I am running ls /dev and getting back as follows:

So... from that result and consulting many guides for accomplishing this task i have been trying to use the screen command on the following:
- cu.usbserial-1420
- cu.usbserial
- tty.usbserial-1420
- tty.usbserial
I've been running it as follows:
screen /dev/[INSERT ONE HERE] 115200
that seems to be the baud rate suggested in multiple guides but I've also tried 9600 and 115600 as I saw those both mentioned in regards to RPi's a few times.
The best result i ever get is an empty terminal window with the cursor grey block:
I've tried disabling System Integrity Protection because one Adafruit tutorial mentioned it. No change.
Also i have enabled serial interface in the raspi-config menu
Any Direction to my problem would be greatly appreciated. Im getting the feeling its the driver because i can't find any other ideas... but i am hoping that's not the case.
--EDIT--
I read somewhere that This Driver is the correct one for newer models of this device. After install there is no change.
