Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias. Windows prerequisites and Visual Studio are presented first and in detail, while Linux/macOS setup is deferred to external links. PowerShell examples are given alongside Bash, but Windows tooling (Visual Studio, Visual Studio command prompt) is emphasized throughout. The device simulation and SDK build instructions are almost entirely Windows/Visual Studio-centric, with only brief references to Linux alternatives. There are missing Linux/macOS-specific examples for key steps like SDK setup, device simulation, and troubleshooting.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS setup instructions inline, not just as external links. Include package requirements, build tools, and example commands for Ubuntu, CentOS, etc.
- Add step-by-step examples for building and running the Azure IoT C SDK on Linux (e.g., using gcc/clang, make, cmake, and running the sample from a terminal).
- Include Linux/macOS troubleshooting steps and expected output for device simulation, matching the detail given for Visual Studio.
- Present Bash/Linux commands before or alongside PowerShell/Windows commands, rather than after.
- Reference cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) and terminal environments, not just Visual Studio.
- Ensure all resource management and cleanup steps include CLI examples that work identically on Linux and Windows.
- Where screenshots are used, provide Linux equivalents or clarify that the portal experience is OS-agnostic.
