Added Files: src: README.md Log Message: Add a README.md. This document attempts to describe some commonly needed use-cases. The build.sh command is opinionated but it's for the sake of having a command that can be copied and probably works without needing to inform the user about what various options do. Discussed in tech-toolchain. I've added some links suggested by kamil and switched to calling arm64 'aarch64' as requested by richard earnshaw.
