Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. The prerequisites explicitly require Windows 10 or 11, and all setup and build instructions reference Windows-specific tools and scripts (e.g., .bat files, File Explorer, Termite, Windows Device Manager). There are no instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users, nor are equivalent Linux tools or workflows mentioned. The use of Windows CMD, PowerShell, and Git Bash for Windows is suggested, but no Linux terminal or shell alternatives are provided.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux (and optionally macOS) users, including supported OS versions.
- Provide equivalent shell scripts (e.g., get-toolchain.sh, rebuild.sh) for Linux/macOS alongside the Windows .bat files.
- List and describe Linux-compatible serial terminal tools (e.g., minicom, screen, picocom) as alternatives to Termite.
- Replace or supplement File Explorer steps with Linux file manager or command-line equivalents.
- Describe how to identify serial ports on Linux (e.g., using dmesg, ls /dev/tty*, or lsusb) instead of relying solely on Windows Device Manager.
- Clarify whether the Azure CLI and IoT Explorer steps are cross-platform, and provide installation guidance for Linux/macOS.
- Add troubleshooting notes for Linux-specific issues, such as udev rules for USB devices or permissions for serial ports.
