If anyone is interested, I've done the work to update the E310 BSP to Rocko 
with the latest versions of everything available. You can find the layer here, 
forked from upstream meta-ettus/rocko/n3xx:
https://github.com/kekiefer/meta-ettus/tree/rocko+e3xx

Here is the updated manifest:
https://github.com/kekiefer/e300-manifest/tree/rocko

The BSP is set up to use the current u-boot from upstream (2017.09) and Kernel 
from meta-xilinx (2017.03, which is version 4.9). This was a fair amount of 
work, so I really hope this helps people out and kickstarts the Ettus efforts 
to get the platform back up-to-date.

Kurt
