    Yes, obmc-console now ships a udev rules file that launches obmc-console-server
    via an `ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}` directive:

If this is mandatory then why do we need to enable UDEV config as it should be enabled by default.

    I saw on IRC you need to launch obmc-console-server for UARTs other than the
    VUARTS - please send a patch to the rules file in obmc-console adding the
    UARTs you need. As noted in the commit message systemd will only attempt
    to start obmc-console-server for the UARTs that have configuration files installed
    on the system, so we can in theory support adding rules for each UART without
    negative effects.
    
    Hope that helps,
