Summary
The documentation exhibits a notable Windows bias: prerequisites require Windows 10/11, setup and build scripts are provided only as Windows batch files (.bat), and Windows tools (Termite, Device Manager, File Explorer) are referenced exclusively. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or instructions for key steps such as toolchain setup, flashing, or serial monitoring, making it difficult for non-Windows users to follow the tutorial without significant adaptation.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit instructions and scripts for Linux/macOS users, including shell (.sh) versions of setup and build scripts.
  • List Linux/macOS as supported platforms in prerequisites, or clarify platform limitations.
  • Suggest cross-platform serial monitoring tools (e.g., minicom, screen, PuTTY) alongside Termite.
  • Describe how to identify the device and flash the binary using Linux/macOS tools (e.g., using 'lsblk', 'dd', or drag-and-drop in file managers).
  • Include instructions for using Azure CLI on Linux/macOS, and clarify that Cloud Shell is platform-agnostic.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (File Explorer, Device Manager) without Linux/macOS alternatives.
