Error generating bitstream 802.11 v1.3

I downloaded this version and I tried to generate bitstream through Xilinx Platform Studio, but there is an error. I didn't change anything in your project and repositories are updated.

ERROR:Xst:2647 - Failed to run core generator for <system_mb_high_eth_dma_wrapper_fifo_generator_v9_1_1> macro.
ERROR:EDK - xst: unknown error occurred.
ERROR:EDK:546 - Aborting XST flow execution!

and then

ERROR:EDK:440 - platgen failed with errors!
Done!

Do I forget something to do?

I saw that at the beginning of the log there is this notice.

WARNING:EDK - INFO:Security:71 - If a license for part 'xc6vlx240t' is
   available, it will be possible to use 'XPS_TDP' instead of 'XPS'.
   WARNING:Security:42 - Your software subscription period has lapsed. Your
   current version of Xilinx tools will continue to function, but you no longer
   qualify for Xilinx software updates or new releases.

Is this problem due to this?

Re: Error generating bitstream 802.11 v1.3

What version of the Xilinx tools are you using?  You should be using version 14.4. 

Are you able to run the Introduction to XPS tutorial?

Yes, my ISE is 14.4.

When I open file .xps of the tutorial, it gives me the following error:

ERROR:EDK:1596 - IPNAME:xps_ll_temac INSTANCE:ETH_B - C:\Users\utente2\Downloads\w3_TemplateProject_OnBoardPeriphs_v1p4\_xps_tempmhsfilename.mhs line 261 - invalid license or no license found!

I don't understand the reason of error above, because if I open file .xps of Reference Design 0.71, it works and generates the bitstream without any problems, while the last release gives me that error.

Re: Error generating bitstream 802.11 v1.3

That Ethernet licensing error looks like the same issue discussed in this post - I would suggest trying those solutions.

However this is probably unrelated to the previous error you observed, as the 802.11 ref design uses the axi_ethernet core instead of the older xps_ll_temac. For the original error, try the solutions in Xilinx AR46159. We've definitely had issues with long paths (i.e. the second fix in that AR) before. Try moving the project folder to "C:\work\", or something similarly short.

Thank you! It works now!
