A quick-and-dirty approach would be to change the permissions on the
/dev/ttyS... device so that the user you are using to debug has read and
write permission.  On Debian these files are owned by the "dialout"
group.  If OpenSuse has a similar group, just add your user to it.  Then
make sure you log out and back in so the group membership change takes
effect.
