Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. The prerequisites specify a Windows 10/11 PC as required, and all setup/build/flash instructions reference Windows-specific scripts (*.bat files), tools (Termite, File Explorer, Device Manager), and workflows. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or instructions for critical steps such as toolchain setup, building, flashing, or serial monitoring. Windows tools (Termite, Device Manager, File Explorer) are mentioned exclusively, and Linux alternatives are not discussed. This bias creates significant friction for Linux/macOS users attempting to follow the tutorial.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state support for Linux/macOS in prerequisites if available, or clarify Windows-only support.
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for setup scripts (e.g., shell scripts like get-toolchain.sh, rebuild.sh).
- Include instructions for building/flashing using Linux/macOS tools (e.g., using dfu-util, st-flash, or generic USB mass storage copy commands).
- Suggest cross-platform serial monitoring tools (e.g., minicom, screen, PuTTY) instead of or in addition to Termite.
- Replace or supplement references to Windows File Explorer and Device Manager with Linux/macOS alternatives (e.g., lsusb, dmesg, file managers).
- Add example commands and screenshots for Linux/macOS environments.
