The standard firmware and FPGA only implement a single channel. There is only a single DDC instantiated in the FPGA. > I'm guessing that the bits in rx_mux in dsp_rx_regs_t are used to > connect one of two DACs to one (or two?) inputs of the digital down > converter.

Any other insights as to how to access both channels in the > USRP2 firmware? See comment above about there currently being only a single DDC in the FPGA. If you want two channels, amongst other things, you'll need to instantiate two DDCs, and add code that interleaves the samples from the two DDCs. You'll also have to create host and firmware that can select the 1 or 2 channel case.
