I can’t give you a specific solution Diego because there are a lot of things 
here that *could* be the issue.
However in general my tips for hacking fast custom B2xx FPGA images are:
1) Do it in such a way that UHD can not tell you changed the FPGA.
i.e All register transactions should work as expected from the perspective of 
UHD (Understand though it doesn’t “know” if the transaction did what it 
expected, only that it got an acknowledgement)
If you want to transmit then still send a sample stream to the USRP even if you 
discard it after it is acknowledged by the USRP (It can be a much lower sample 
rate than your custom logic outputs, you control radio_clk directly with 
master_clock_rate, sample rate controls the interpolation ratio down from 
radio_clk)
2) Use the driver functionality of UHD to control all the H/W. Really you don’t 
want to debug driver style code if you are in a hurry, especially the 
transceiver.
3) Don't touch the logic that interfaces immediately to the FPGA pins so as too 
preserve off-chip timing…a lot of work went into qualifying that.
