Question for MAC and Linux users: get motherboard serial number

Using the Windows OS, when typing in MATLAB the command

system('wmic baseboard get product,version,serialnumber');

we have the serial number of the motherboard as shown in the attached figure.

What are the equivalent commands for MAC and Linux? And how is this data shown in the matlab command window for these OS?

One option might be

cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_{vendor,name,version,serial}

though you would need root privilege to get the serial

You could also use lshw, but again, you'll be limited in what you can read without root.
