 ## Usage 
 
-To get started with `gdb-static`, simply download the build for your architecture from the [releases page](https://github.com/guyush1/gdb-static/releases/latest), extract the archive, and copy the binary to your desired platform.

-> We provide two types of builds:
-> 1. Builds with Python support, which are approximately ~30 MB in size.
-> 2. Slimmer builds without Python support, which are approximately ~7 MB in size.

 You may choose to copy the `gdb` binary to the platform, or use `gdbserver` to debug remotely.
 
+## Build types
+
+We provide two types of builds:
+1. Slim builds, that contains most of the features, beside the ones mentioned below.
+2. Full builds that contains all of the slim build features, and also contains:
+   * Python support
+   * Cross-architecture debugging. <br />
+   Note that in order to enable cross-architecture debugging, we have to disable the simulator feature, since not all targets have a simulator.
+
+Slim builds are approximately ~10MB. Full builds are approximately ~70MB. <br />
+You can edit the full_build_conf.sh file to disable full build exclusive features.
