Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, requiring Windows 10/11, using Windows batch scripts (*.bat), referencing Windows tools (Termite, Device Manager, File Explorer), and providing no Linux/macOS alternatives or instructions. Linux/macOS users are left without guidance for key steps such as toolchain setup, flashing, and serial monitoring.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit instructions for Linux/macOS users, including supported OS versions.
  • Include alternative setup scripts (e.g., get-toolchain.sh) and document their usage.
  • Suggest cross-platform serial monitoring tools (e.g., minicom, screen, PuTTY) and provide configuration steps.
  • Replace or supplement references to Windows Device Manager and File Explorer with Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., lsusb, dmesg, file managers).
  • Clarify whether the Azure CLI and IoT Explorer steps are cross-platform, and provide installation guidance for non-Windows systems.
  • Add troubleshooting notes for Linux/macOS, including driver installation and device recognition.
