Hi Marcus, Thank you for the detailed explanation. I think this is very helpful. The reason I need a specific version of UHD is to work with a remote N310. It seems that to work with a N310, the versions of Ubuntu (sdimg), FPGA image, and UHD on the host computer must all match. However, since my N310 is deployed remotely, I can not update its sdimg often. I wonder if sdimg and FPGA image could be de-coupled in the future. Correct me if I am wrong about this.
Many thanks!
