@@ -473,6 +473,20 @@ As of UHD 4.2, the following images flavors are shipped with UHD:
| X4_200 | 200 MHz | 4x 10 GbE (All Lanes) | N/C | Yes | Yes (4-Ch Replay) |
| CG_400 | 400 MHz | 100 GbE | 100 GbE | No | No |
+The following list shows some potential use-cases for different FPGA images:
+
+- `X4_200`: 200 MHz analog bandwidth, or below (using RFNoC DDC/DUCs),
+ streaming between the X410 and an external host computer, or streaming
+ to/from on-board DRAM using the RFNoC Record/Replay block.
+- `CG_400`: Full-rate (400 MHz analog bandwidth) streaming between the X410 and
+ an external host computer. The current implementation requires dual 100 GbE
+ connections for 4 full-duplex channels or a single 100 GbE connection for 2
+ full-duplex channels.
+- `X4_400`: Full-rate (400 MHz analog bandwidth) streaming to/from on-board
+ DRAM using the RFNoC Record/Replay block. Up to 4 x 10 GbE connections may be
+ used to access the DRAM from an external host computer. Note that 10 GbE is
+ not fast enough for continuous full-rate streaming at this rate.

see a complete list of FPGA images that can be built, some of which are
experimental (unsupported).
