Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. It explicitly lists Windows 10/11 as a prerequisite, only provides instructions and scripts for Windows (e.g., .bat files), and references Windows-specific tools and workflows (e.g., File Explorer, Device Manager, Termite, and Windows CMD/PowerShell). There are no equivalent instructions, scripts, or tool recommendations for Linux (or macOS) users, and Linux alternatives for serial monitoring or flashing are not mentioned.
Recommendations:
- Add Linux (and optionally macOS) as supported platforms in the prerequisites, or clearly state if they are unsupported.
- Provide equivalent setup scripts for Linux (e.g., get-toolchain.sh) and include instructions for running them.
- List Linux-compatible tools for serial port monitoring (e.g., minicom, screen, picocom) alongside or instead of Termite, and provide configuration steps for these tools.
- Replace or supplement Windows-specific instructions (e.g., File Explorer, Device Manager) with cross-platform or Linux-specific alternatives (e.g., using the terminal, lsusb, dmesg, or /dev/tty* devices).
- Ensure all command-line examples are cross-platform or provide both Windows and Linux variants.
- If certain steps are only possible on Windows, clearly indicate this and suggest workarounds or alternatives for Linux users.
