We found that non-powered Micro-HDMI to VGA converters don't work with the MinnowBoardMax at all. Some have reported success with powered ones. I recommend getting a Micro-HDMI to DVI cable. To connect via serial I use putty (on Windows) with a speed of 115200 and it works fine. Which lights are flashing on the FTDI board, and when do they flash? Are you sure you have the FTDI board plugged in correctly. The ground pin is the far right pin on the MinnowBoardMax header.
