Are we violently agreeing here?

The  B2xx family FPGAs aren't supported by the RFNOC toolchain, and
they're not very big.  You could, probably "port"
  the RFNOC toolchain to these FPGAs, but my understanding is that it
would be a lot of work.

Regardless, officially, RNOC IS NOT SUPPORTED on B2xx hardware.

I recently started reading about RFNoc and it intrigued me for use in my project since I own a USRP B200. Would love some advice on whether or not to try this out and if so how to implement it correctly, thanks.
