Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. Windows is referenced as the default development environment, with Visual Studio and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Simulator.exe) featured prominently. Instructions and examples for building and running the TPM simulator and device samples are tailored to Windows, with Visual Studio and Windows command prompts used throughout. Linux/macOS alternatives are only briefly mentioned or deferred to external SDK documentation, and no explicit Linux/macOS build/run examples are provided. Some troubleshooting and installation steps (e.g., npm windows-build-tools) are Windows-only.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS instructions and examples for all SDKs, including how to build and run the TPM simulator and device samples using gcc/clang, make, or other native tools.
  • Include Linux/macOS prerequisites (e.g., required packages, compilers, dependencies) alongside Windows prerequisites, not just as a link to external documentation.
  • Offer troubleshooting steps for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., permissions, library dependencies) similar to the Windows troubleshooting provided.
  • Ensure that references to command-line tools (e.g., Git Bash, command prompt) are cross-platform, or provide platform-specific alternatives.
  • Avoid assuming Windows as the default environment; use neutral language and parallel instructions for all major platforms.
