 1. Download the current UHD images. You can use the ``uhd_images_downloader`` script provided
    with UHD (see also `FPGA Image Flavors`_).
 2. Use the ``usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner`` utility to update the FPGA image. On the command line, run::
 
-          usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner --addr=192.168.10.2 --type=HGS # Since we are using 1GigE, type is HGS
+          usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner --addr=192.168.10.2 --type=HGS
 
   If you have installed the images to a non-standard location, you might need to run (change the filename according to your device)::
 
           usrp_x3xx_fpga_burner --addr=192.168.10.2 --fpga-path <path_to_images>/usrp_x310_fpga_HGS.bit
 
-  The process of updating the firmware will take several minutes. Make sure the process of flashing the image does not get interrupted.
