Why is the FPGA image for UHD different?

Hello,
I am using Matlab 2024A - update 4 with Communications Toolbox for UHD (B210 hardware). I noticed that the FPGA image download for the B210-UHD is different. What is the difference between the UHD image from Ettus and the Mathworks FPGA image?
Here is the line from my Matlab session.
linux; GNU C++ version 10.3.0; Boost_107800; UHD_4.2.0.0-vendor
UHD_4.2.0.0-vendor seems unique to Mathworks, is this correct?

The MathWorks UHD image (UHD_4.2.0.0-vendor) is customized to integrate seamlessly with MATLAB and Simulink.
This includes additional features, patches, or modifications specific to MathWorks' requirements. For example, it includes specific patches to enhance the performance or functionality of the B210 hardware.
On the other hand, UHD versions from Ettus Research follow their standard versioning scheme and are primarily tested with Ettus Research's software and tools.

Yes, you can program both the processing system and programmable logic. By default, HDL Coder places the generated HDL files in the subfolders hdlsrc or hdl_prj within your current working directory. You can explore these folders to reuse the HDL code as needed.

>> Does Mathworks allow the FPGA to be modified using the HDL Coder toolset?
Yes, if you have an FPGA/SoC on the board you can use HDL Coder to customize the hardware description and program the board.
