Modifying ofdm design

I am tring to modify the ofdm_txrx_mimo.mdl file but I run into an error while compiling the file. I have tried the unmodified file too but still get the same error. Can you help me with this

heres the error log :

Re: Modifying ofdm design

I got rid of the old error but now im stuck at the following error.

Begin generation
Checking model status
Checking simulation times
Performing compilation and generation

*** ERROR ***

Errors occurred during netlist generation.
Error using ==> xlCompileGenerateMdl at 187
Error reported by S-function 'sdspfirdn2' in 'ofdm_txrx_mimo/"Channel"/FIR Decimation3':

Re: Modifying ofdm design

This is a known issue in System Generator- see this Xilinx answer record. Adding a Simulink zero-order hold block before the Channel subsystem should get rid of the error.

Re: Modifying ofdm design

THanks for the reply, I will check that out

I was trying to generate a bitstream for the ofdm reference design in XPS and it was sucessfully placed and mapped but then i got an XFLOW error, I am pasting the output of the log below, can you help with this error.

Re: Modifying ofdm design

I've never seen that error before. Some Googling suggests it's a problem with Windows, not just the Xilinx tools. Can you build any designs in XPS (like one of our XPS tutorials)?
