Hi Nicolas,
thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it.

I just started digging into the details, so it seems that I need to take a
deeper look at the 3GPP processing chain :)
Regarding your suggestion, could it be possible that the function you were
pointing out is process_ldpc_dec_cb() within bbdev_turbo_software.c (just
to be sure)?

Again, thanks a lot for your help.

Regards,
Ginés.
