 ### Running OAI gNB with USRP B210/FHI72
 
+When running the gNB **with FHI 7.2**, it is not necessary to provide the `--nrLDPC_coding_aal.dpdk_core_list` argument
+since the core list specified for FHI 7.2 will be used for DPDK.
+If it is provided, the AAL core list wil be ignored.

 Example command:
 ```bash

 # Known Issue(s)
 
-## BBDEV CPU Usage
-
-When running the E2E setup (this applies to both USRP and FHI72), BBDEV may not be using the list of CPU cores as specified by `nrLDPC_coding_aal.dpdk_core_list` accordingly.
-This is an issue under investigation, and subject for future fixes.
-In the meantime, we recommend allocating idle, and isolated CPU cores in the configuration for BBDEV.

 ## Potential Low Throughput
 
 The current implementation has been tested to work in an end-to-end setup and is functional. 
-However, there are still opportunities for optimization, particularly in LDPC decoding performance, which is an area of ongoing improvement. 
+However, depending on the accelerator in use,
+there are still opportunities for optimization, particularly in LDPC decoding performance, which is an area of ongoing improvement. 
 As such, downlink/uplink throughput may be suboptimal with the default configurations, but enhancements are actively being explored.
 
-To achieve better E2E performance with the current implementation, we recommend the following adjustments:
+For example, to achieve better E2E performance with the current implementation with Intel ACC 100 and 200 (vRAN Boost),
+we recommend the following adjustments:
 1. Increasing the number of LDPC decoding iterations of the L1, e.g., `max_ldpc_iterations` to 200.
 2. Increasing the BLER targets of the MAC scheduler.
