Summary
The documentation provides a PowerShell example for deriving a device key, explicitly referencing Windows, but does not provide equivalent Linux or cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., Bash, OpenSSL, Python). This creates a bias toward Windows users and may hinder Linux users from following the instructions easily.
Recommendations
- Add a Linux/Bash example for deriving the device key, using common tools like openssl or a Python script.
- Present both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (Bash/Python) examples side by side, or use tabbed sections for each platform.
- Avoid language such as 'On Windows...' unless there is a corresponding 'On Linux...' section.
- Where possible, use cross-platform tools or scripts, or at least reference them.
- Explicitly mention that the process can be performed on both Windows and Linux, and provide links to relevant tools or documentation for each.
