 ### Build `SW`
 
-After the bitstream is loaded, the driver can be inserted once for the initial static image.
+Provided software applications (as well as any other) can be built with the following commands:
 
 ~~~~
-$ cd driver && make
-$ insmod coyote_drv.ko <any_additional_args>
+$ mkdir build_sw && cd build_sw
+$ cmake <path_to_cmake_config>
+$ make

+Similar to building the HW, it makes sense to build within the `examples_sw` directory for direct access to the provided `CMakeLists.txt`:

-$ mkdir build_sw && cd build_sw
-$ cmake <path_to_cmake_config>
+$ mkdir examples_sw/build_sw && cd examples_sw/build_sw

+### Provided examples
+Coyote already comes with a number of pre-configured example applications that can be used to test the shell-capabilities and systems performance or start own developments around networking or memory-offloading. The following list (to be continued in the future) should give you an overview on the existent example apps, how to set them up in hard- and software and how to use them:

+#### kmeans
+
+#### multithreading
+
+#### perf_fpga
+
+#### perf_local
+
+#### rdma_service
+
+#### reconfigure_shell
+
+#### streaming_service
+
