Summary
The documentation provides a PowerShell example for deriving a device key and explicitly mentions 'On Windows', with no equivalent example or instructions for Linux or cross-platform environments. This prioritizes Windows tooling and patterns, omits Linux alternatives, and may hinder Linux users from following the instructions easily.
Recommendations
  • Add a Linux example for deriving the device key, such as using OpenSSL or a Python script.
  • Present cross-platform solutions (e.g., Python, Node.js) before or alongside Windows/PowerShell examples.
  • Avoid language such as 'On Windows' unless also providing 'On Linux' or 'On macOS' sections.
  • Reference Linux tools (e.g., openssl, sha256sum) and provide command-line examples.
  • Clearly indicate that the process can be performed on any OS and provide parity in instructions.
