The inital tarball included separate .zip and README files for both the Kernel and Platform components. Unfortunately, I was unable to proceed with serious testing of either component due to the extraordinary system requirements.

Specifically:

- The Platform build requires 500+ GB of storage
- The Kernel toolchain, according to its README, requires 400 GB of storage and a minimum of 64 GB of RAM

These requirements significantly exceed the resources available on my system and I would imagine might also be challenging for most standard development environments.

My assumption is that these are more in-line with the expectations of enterprise-grade hardware or specialized build environments, not a typical development environment.
