This solution would work (with a faster CPU) but the Zynq7010 Cortex A9 CPU isn't able to send a new word (32 bits phase shift) every 1 or 2 milliseconds with enough timing precision. I'm now  trrying to implement an all PL solution. See next log. 

The AD9851_0 VHDL IP is controlled by a GPIO IP (axi_gpio_AD9851) where the two 32 bits output ports act as:

      Out frequency = phase_increment * 180 MHz / 2^32
