Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows is referenced as the default development environment, with most examples and instructions tailored for Windows users (e.g., Visual Studio, .NET SDK on Windows, .exe simulators). Linux/macOS alternatives are mentioned only in passing or deferred to external SDK documentation. Critical steps, such as running the TPM simulator, building projects, and using Visual Studio, are described exclusively for Windows, with no explicit Linux/macOS commands or toolchain guidance. The use of Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, Simulator.exe) and command prompts further increases friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS instructions for all major steps, including installing prerequisites, building SDKs, and running the TPM simulator.
- Include Linux/macOS command-line equivalents alongside Windows commands (e.g., use 'make', 'gcc', or 'clang' for C SDK builds, and provide .sh scripts or instructions for running the simulator).
- Reference cross-platform IDEs (e.g., VS Code) and toolchains where possible, or clarify how to use Visual Studio Code or other editors on Linux/macOS.
- Ensure that all sample code and device simulator tools are available and documented for Linux/macOS, or provide containerized solutions (e.g., Docker) for cross-platform parity.
- Reorganize prerequisite sections to present Windows, Linux, and macOS options equally, rather than defaulting to Windows.
