Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias: Windows is mentioned first and most prominently as the target development environment, with prerequisites and instructions focused on Windows tools (Visual Studio, .NET Core SDK, Simulator.exe). Many steps assume Windows (e.g., use of Visual Studio, command prompt, Git Bash, and Windows-specific executables). Linux and macOS are only referenced as alternatives, with no detailed instructions or examples provided for those platforms. There is a lack of parity in examples, build instructions, and troubleshooting for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit, step-by-step instructions for Linux and macOS environments, including package installation, build tools (e.g., GCC, Clang, Make), and alternative TPM simulators.
  • Include Linux/macOS equivalents for all Windows tools mentioned (e.g., Visual Studio alternatives such as VS Code, Eclipse, or command-line build instructions).
  • Offer troubleshooting tips and common issues for Linux/macOS users, similar to those provided for Windows.
  • Ensure all code samples and commands are cross-platform, or provide platform-specific variants where necessary.
  • Mention Linux/macOS options before or alongside Windows, rather than only as a secondary note.
  • Document how to run the TPM simulator on Linux/macOS (e.g., using Mono, Wine, or native builds if available), and provide links to relevant resources.
