where is the .bin fpga image for the usrp x310 ?

I have an ettus x310 USRP box & matlab r2015a. I'm trying to get the USRP-simulink interface working. The usrp hardware support package is installed. But looking in C:\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2015a\usrpradio\toolbox\shared\sdr\sdru\uhdapps\images I see .bin image files for every device except the x310 (& x300.) It has usrp_x310_fpga_HGS.bit & usrp_x310_fpga_HGS.lvbitx (whatever they are) but no usrp_x310_fpga_HGS.bin file. How do I upload the needed image with sdruload without it?

The FPGA images for X300 and X310 provided by Ettus Research at http://files.ettus.com/binaries/images/uhd-images_003.008.002-release.zip do not include .bin files. usrp_x300_fpga_HGS.bit, usrp_x300_fpga_HGS.lvbitx, usrp_x310_fpga_HGS.bit, usrp_x310_fpga_HGS.lvbitx are sufficient.

For X300 and X310, sdruload can only load default images. It will use one of the 4 files (usrp_x300_fpga_HGS.bit, usrp_x300_fpga_HGS.lvbitx, usrp_x310_fpga_HGS.bit, usrp_x310_fpga_HGS.lvbitx) automatically. You just need to provide the values for 'Device' and 'IPAddress'.

Thanks a lot for this. This is what I gave:

status = sdruload('Device','x310','IPAddress','<type>')

It worked like a charm.
