Hello Dr Henarejos,

Currently an RFNoC only flowgraph is not fully supported. What is missing
is the issuing of the commands to start streaming and a mechanism to handle
timestamps. Some modifications are needed to make these work.
Nick Foster has done a write up on a few different ways of handling the
necessary modifications.
