 ### Supported hardware
 
 - **MKS Robin Nano** (STM32F407xx-based controller board) - Production target
+- Way more 32 bit boards to come
 - **native_sim** - Development and testing platform
-- STM32F407xx microcontroller family support
 - Stepper motor drivers:
   - TMC stepper motor controllers
-  - GPIO-based stepper motor drivers  
+  - GPIO-based stepper motor drivers
   - Testing/simulation drivers for development
 
 ### Development Environment Setup
 
 Before getting started, make sure you have a proper Zephyr development environment. Follow the official [Zephyr Getting Started Guide](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/getting_started/index.html).
 
-#### Prerequisites
-
-- **Zephyr SDK** - Required for cross-compilation and board support
-- **West** - Zephyr's meta-tool for project management and building
-- **CMake** (version 3.20.0 or higher) - Build system
-- **Ninja** - Fast build tool
-- **Python 3** (with pip) - For build scripts and utilities
-- **Git** - For version control and West manifest management
-
-#### Installation
-
-1. **Install the Zephyr SDK**: Follow the [official Zephyr getting started guide](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/getting_started/index.html) for your operating system.
-
-2. **Set up a Python virtual environment and install West**:
-   ```bash
-   python3 -m venv ~/.venv
-   source ~/.venv/bin/activate
-   pip install west
-   ```
-
 #### Workspace Initialization
 
 The first step is to initialize the workspace folder where the `OpenAstroFirmware` and all Zephyr modules will be cloned. Run the following command:
 
 ```bash
+# Create workspace directory
+mkdir OpenAstroFirmware-workspace
+
+# Change to the workspace directory
+cd OpenAstroFirmware-workspace
+
 # Initialize workspace for OpenAstroFirmware
-west init -m https://github.com/OpenAstroTech/OpenAstroFirmware --mr main OpenAstroFirmware-workspace
+west init -m https://github.com/OpenAstroTech/OpenAstroFirmware --mr main .
+
 # Update Zephyr modules
-cd OpenAstroFirmware-workspace
 west update
 ```

-### Configuration
-
-The firmware uses Zephyr's Kconfig system for configuration. Key configuration files:
-
-- `app/prj.conf` - Main project configuration
-- `app/boards/native_sim.conf` - Native simulator specific settings  
-- `app/boards/native_sim.overlay` - Device tree overlay for simulation
-- Board-specific configurations in `boards/` directory
-
-Configuration can be modified using:
-```bash
-west build -t menuconfig    # Interactive configuration menu
-west build -t guiconfig     # GUI configuration tool
+source ~/zephyrproject/.venv/bin/activate
 ```
