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.
