I'm trying to communicate with my hardware board from a Ubuntu installed PC. I've used a USB to serial cable, and the serial cable is connected to the hardware and the USB is connected to the USB port of my desktop. I used minicom and it works well like I'm able to see the output of my hardware. But the issue is I'm not able to enter anything. It is not recognizing my keyboard input. Without that its totally useless. Could someone help me in this issue.

To configure a modem use the command minicom -o console to start Minicom without sending an initialization string to the modem. Now issue the AT commands to configure the modem. When finished use the Quit option to leave Minicom without sending a reset string to the modem; this option is Alt-Q.
To exit Minicom when in terminal mode press 'Ctrl-A' to get a message bar at the bottom of the terminal window and then press 'X'. Another useful Option is to log all information to a file which will be saved in your Home directory.
Knowing what the device is would help to answer this question.
If you see good output from your device then most likely the software side of things work well. This is good news. The problem could be:
You may also try alternative software to minicom. This will not fix the problem, but may help you to find the cause more easily. One such software with GUI is gtkterm. Install and use like this. All options and configuration are avbailable through menus:
sudo apt-get install gtkterm
gtkterm
