As I said, I have an SW-only version of my receiver running on the ZCU102 and communicating with the USRP successfully. But the problem is I get the samples from the application level. In the Hybrid version of my receiver, I don't want to receive samples at the application level. As I said, I want to read directly in my hardware block design, in the ZCU102.
