Summary:
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing almost exclusively on Windows tools (usbipd-win, PowerShell, Windows Package Manager) and workflows. All example commands are given in PowerShell, and there are no Linux command-line examples or instructions for performing similar tasks on a native Linux host. The only mention of Linux is in the context of the EFLOW VM, which is managed from Windows. Linux tools and workflows are not discussed, and Windows-specific patterns (such as using 'Add or Remove Programs', 'Services' app, and PowerShell modules) are presented without Linux equivalents.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux command-line instructions for attaching USB devices using usbip (e.g., using 'usbip' and 'usbipd' on Linux).
- Include examples of how to perform the USB/IP setup and device attachment from a Linux host, not just from Windows.
- When listing steps or tools, mention Linux-native approaches alongside Windows ones, or clarify that the instructions are Windows-only if no Linux equivalent exists.
- Add a section or note explaining how to achieve similar functionality on a pure Linux environment, or link to relevant Linux documentation.
- Balance PowerShell examples with bash or shell script examples where possible, especially for actions that can be performed inside the EFLOW VM.
