Summary
The documentation is generally Linux-focused, given the use of a Raspberry Pi and Yocto image, and most command-line instructions use Linux tools (bmaptool, nano, systemctl, etc.). However, there is evidence of Windows bias in the SSH instructions, which specifically direct users to open a PowerShell window for SSH access, rather than mentioning a Linux or cross-platform terminal. Additionally, Azure portal instructions and screenshots are presented in a way that assumes a Windows-centric workflow, with no mention of Linux desktop alternatives or Azure CLI usage.
Recommendations
  • When providing SSH instructions, mention that SSH can be run from any terminal (Linux, macOS, Windows PowerShell, Windows Terminal, etc.), not just PowerShell.
  • Include Azure CLI commands as alternatives to portal-based steps for device registration, tagging, and update deployment, to support Linux users and automation.
  • Where screenshots or UI instructions are given, clarify that the Azure portal is web-based and accessible from any OS, or provide CLI alternatives.
  • Avoid language that implies Windows is the default environment (e.g., 'in a PowerShell window'); use neutral phrasing like 'in your terminal'.
