The diagram you refer to is the ESP32 microcontroller we use.

I was referring more to the other links on that page (Developer Guide, Source Code, Getting Started Vehicle).

Windows toolchain is on page #6 of the developer guide. Linux and Mac OSX is page #13.

I use Mac and Linux myself. I think the developers here are pretty mixes amongst the three platforms.

Regarding data sets, I presume you mean CAN bus dumps? I have some for Tesla cars (roadster, S, X). Others typically maintain them for their own cars. People may be reluctant to share as the dumps may contain personally identifiable information (not just VINs, but also things like latitude and longitude coordinates of charging, parking, etc).
