Hmmm, instead of telling people to use sudo, I think it would be better to tell people about making sure their userid is a member of the dialout group.

Which package is that? Where would one get it?

This doesn't seem to be an image of Micropython running on Microwatt, more like Linux booting on Microwatt, so the alt tag is confusing.

This statement confuses me. If you unplug the cable, how are you going to see the serial console?

Hmmm, it seems dangerous to me to tell people to set up a DHCP server without at least explaining when this might be necessary and what potential problems it might cause. I would rather just tell people to query the DHCP server on their network to find out what address was assigned, or if that is not possible, log in to the microwatt system on the console and run ifconfig (or ip addr list) to find out.
It should be possible for people to build and run microwatt without ever using sudo.
Updated the documentation to follow the latest version,
vivado 2022.1, shenki's buildroot onmicrowatt-2022.08and latest Linux kernel on v6.11.0-rc3.Also, I've added an image to make it easier to understand.
