Below is my analysis of the source code provided:

I unpacked the file and looked for a README to explain the build process. Unfortunately, no such file was present in the root directory or subdirectories. I looked further into the directory structure and noticed several folders containing C and C++ source files, along with Makefiles.

I attempted to run make from the root directory on an Ubuntu 22.04 system, but encountered the following error:
No targets specified and no makefile found.

Additional configuration details were not included in the source release and without further documentation or build guidance, I was not able to successfully compile or test the firmware.
