Updated development documentation
# Setting up the development environment
-## Install necessary tools
-
-```
-sudo apt-get install -y git make gcc g++ unzip rsync bc sshpass zip ncurses-dev screen
-```
+*Note:* The scripts are designed to work on Ubuntu. There is a good chance that they will also work on other Debian-based
+systems. For other Linux distributions, you might have to adapt some of these scripts.
-## Download and extract buildroot
-
-```
-wget https://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2019.08.1.tar.gz
-tar xvzf buildroot-2019.08.1.tar.gz
-ln -s buildroot-2019.08.1 buildroot
-```
-Note that newer releases than buildroot 2019-08 won't work at the moment due to incompatibilities
-of the Python interpreter.

-## Patch buildroot
+This will install some packages that are required to build HiFiBerryOS.
-We require some changes in official buildroot packages (e.g. upgrades to newer versions). Before compiling,
-apply these changes using
+## Download and extract buildroot

+Starting March 2020, we moved from the 2019-08 release of buildroot to the buildroot development tree.
+This was necessary as the newest version (which is not yet officially released) includes some changes that
+are required to move on with new features.
+This script will download the correct release via git and apply a few necessary patches.

## Start the first build
