I have a file /dev/ttyS0
. And every time I boot, its file permissions are changed to default (unwritable) by the system. So, I have to run a chmod
command every time I boot-up. How can I change its file permission permanently?

Changing the file permission is not a good idea. I think /dev/ttyS* are designed to be accessed by user space applications, so you dont need to make it accessible to everybody. Instead you should give permission to use the serial ports to users that need access. If I am not wrong, you can do this by adding your user to the group uucp which can be done by running the following command in the terminal:
usermod -aG uucp <you_user_name>
If this does not solve your issue, try posting a bit more details on what you are doing. What device are you accessing and explaining how are you writing to it, and perhaps providing some code snippets will help give more specific answer.
ls -l /dev/ttyS0
.
