Summary
The documentation provides a PowerShell example for deriving a device key, explicitly referencing Windows and omitting equivalent Linux or cross-platform command-line examples (such as Bash/OpenSSL or Python). Windows tooling is mentioned first and exclusively in this context, which may hinder Linux users or those on other platforms from following the instructions without additional research.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux/Bash/OpenSSL and/or Python examples for deriving the device key, alongside the PowerShell example.
  • Explicitly state that the process can be performed on any OS and provide cross-platform instructions.
  • Reference platform-agnostic tools or libraries (e.g., OpenSSL, Python's hashlib) before or alongside Windows-specific tools.
  • Consider reordering or grouping platform-specific instructions under clear headings (e.g., 'On Windows', 'On Linux/macOS').
