+Because the SFP+ port supports both 1 Gigabit (SFP) and 10 Gigabit (SFP+)
+transceivers, several FPGA images are shipped with UHD to determine the

+The Aurora image can be used to run BISTs on the SFP.

+Images can be updated and swapped using the image loader tool. First, make sure
+your version of UHD is running the correct images by downloading them from the
+internet:
+
+    [sudo] uhd_images_downloader
+
+Then, use the image loader tool to pick an FPGA image:
+
+    uhd_image_loader -a type=e3xx,addr=<IP Address>,fpga=XG

+\section e3xx_sdcard The SD card
 
 The E310/E312/E313/E320 use a micro SD card as its main storage. The entire root file
 system (Linux kernel, libraries) and any user data are stored on this SD card.

+The USRP-N300 Series devices contains two SFP+ ports for the two Ethernet channels.
+Because SFP+ ports can be used for either 1 Gigabit (SFP) or 10 Gigabit (SFP+)
+transceivers, several FPGA images are shipped with UHD to determine the
+behavior of the above interfaces.
+
+Interfaces can be used for either 1 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet,
+Aurora (using 10 Gigabit speeds), and White Rabbit (the White Rabbit interface
+does *not* support streaming, it only provides a time reference). See also
+\ref n3xx_synchronization_whiterabbit. We provide the following flavors of FPGA
+images in our default image set:
+
+|  FPGA Image Flavor  |  SFP+ Port 0 Interface |  SFP+ Port 1 Interface |
+|---------------------|------------------------|------------------------|
+|  HG (Default)       |  1 Gigabit Ethernet    |  10 Gigabit Ethernet   |
+|  XG                 |  10 Gigabit Ethernet   |  10 Gigabit Ethernet   |
+|  HA                 |  1 Gigabit Ethernet    |  Aurora                |
+|  XA                 |  10 Gigabit Ethernet   |  Aurora                |

+|  WX                 |  White Rabbit          |  10 Gigabit Ethernet   |

+The N320 has an additional QSFP port, and therefore has additional FPGA flavors
+(AQ, XQ). For more information on those, see \ref n3xx_rh_sfp_protocols.
