Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias: Windows is the only OS listed as a prerequisite, all setup and build instructions reference Windows-specific tools and batch scripts (.bat), and Windows utilities (File Explorer, Device Manager) are used for critical steps. There are no Linux or macOS equivalents or instructions, and the serial monitor tool (Termite) is Windows-only. The guidance for running Azure CLI locally does not mention Linux or macOS, and PowerShell/CMD are referenced as consoles, with no mention of Bash or other shells outside Azure Cloud Shell.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux and macOS as supported platforms in prerequisites, or clarify Windows-only support if intentional.
  • Provide instructions for running setup and build scripts on Linux/macOS (e.g., .sh scripts, CMake commands).
  • List Linux/macOS alternatives for Windows-only tools, such as using minicom, screen, or PuTTY for serial monitoring instead of Termite.
  • Include steps for identifying serial ports on Linux/macOS (e.g., using dmesg, ls /dev/tty*, or system tools).
  • Reference Bash and other shells for local Azure CLI usage, not just Windows CMD/PowerShell.
  • Ensure all critical steps (cloning, building, flashing, monitoring) have cross-platform instructions and examples.
