'Accessing the SoC's UART from the BMC' section of IGX Orin user guide asks to enter the below command:
root@mgx-3809:~# /usr/sbin/obmc-console-server --config /etc/obmc-console/obmc-console-3809.conf ttyS2 &

I believe this is no longer needed since on boot there appears to be a console server already running on ttyS2

root@mgx-3809:~# ps |grep -i cons
253 root      3728 S    /usr/sbin/obmc-console-server --config /etc/obmc-console/server.ttyS2.conf ttyS2

Further the referenced file obmc-console-3809.conf does not exist.

root@mgx-3809:~# ls /etc/obmc-console/    
server.ttyS2.conf      server.ttyVUART0.conf

Note: I still needed to run the gpioset command.

Details on the OpenBMC version that shipped with the IGX Orin kit I received:
