Pccore Verilog Peripherals: After installing the Xilinx WebPack and adding its 'xst' program to your $PATH environment variable you can download and build an FPGA image for the Baseboard with the following commands:

        wget http://demandperipherals.com/downloads/pccore-latest.tgz
        tar -xzf pccore-latest.tgz
        cd pccore/board/baseboard4
        # Edit perilist to set the peripherals in your build
        vi perilist
        make
        sudo cp build/pccore.bin /usr/local/lib

pcdaemon: Pcdaemon is the user-space daemon that converts ASCII strings on a TCP connection into the low level packets that read and write registers in the FPGA. You can get, install, and test pcdaemon with the following commands:

        wget http://demandperipherals.com/downloads/pcdaemon-latest.tgz
        tar -xzf pcdaemon-latest.tgz
        cd pcdaemon
        make
        sudo make install
        # start pcdaemon and test Baseboard buttons
        stty -opost  < /dev/ttyUSB0       # raw byte output
        cat /usr/local/lib/pc/pccore.bin > /dev/ttyUSB0
        pcdaemon  -s /dev/ttyUSB0         # full daemon mode
        /usr/local/bin/pcget bb4io buttons   # press BB4 buttons
