      Suggestions for Boot2Qt part:

      • Add information about supported development host (Windows)
      • Add step by step and more detailed instructions in logical order:
        1. Installation:
          • Current link to Boot to Qt documentation would be enough but should be the first guidance step for user instead of being the last one
        2. Configuring and connecting target device in Design Studio:
          • Detailed instructions missing.
        3. Previewing:
          • First step in the current documentation (1. In the bottom toolbar, select and enable the kit predefined for the device type.) is not needed. After configuring Boot2Qt device, it's enough to do just step 2 (Select the kit for the device in the bottom toolbar.)
          • "Select Build > QML Preview or select Alt+P." -> There is no Build - QML Preview. Instead, user should click "Run App" button.

       

      Suggestions for Android part:

      • "To preview a UI on an Android device, turn on USB debugging on the device and connect it to the computer with a USB cable." -> Can this be done currently when we have Qt UI Viewer?
