+### DPU serial console utility
+
+**dpu-tty.py**
+
+This command allows user to connect to a DPU serial console via TTY device with
+interactive CLI program: picocom. The configuration is from platform.json. The
+utility works only on smart switch that provides DPU UART connections through
+/dev/ttyS* devices.
+
+- Usage:
+  ```
+  dpu-tty.py (-n|--name) <DPU_NAME> [(-b|-baud) <BAUD_RATE>] [(-t|-tty) <TTY>]
+  ```
+
+- Example:
+  ```
+  root@MtFuji:/home/cisco# dpu-tty.py -n dpu0
+  picocom v3.1
+
+  port is        : /dev/ttyS4
+  flowcontrol    : none
+  baudrate is    : 115200
+  parity is      : none
+  databits are   : 8
+  stopbits are   : 1
+  escape is      : C-a
+  local echo is  : no
+  noinit is      : no
+  noreset is     : no
+  hangup is      : no
+  nolock is      : no
+  send_cmd is    : sz -vv
+  receive_cmd is : rz -vv -E
+  imap is        : 
+  omap is        : 
+  emap is        : crcrlf,delbs,
+  logfile is     : none
+  initstring     : none
+  exit_after is  : not set
+  exit is        : no
