Hi Louis, This error means that you're trying to assign a bit position beyond that supported by the particular IO group. In this case, it's because the ROACH only has 4 user-accessible LEDs, while the IBOB has 8. So if you just take out the slices that are giving you trouble, it should be okay.

Hello, I'm trying to get through the IBOB tutorial...just to get a bunch of led's lit up. Near the end of designing the model, when trying to link up 8 slices and gpio blocks i get an error. The first three sets of slices and gpio's don't give me any trouble..however when I get to the fourth set I get a dialogue box with the following: "Gateway bit index contain values that exceeds the bitwidth." What exactly is it that I'm doing wrong? ps. This tutorial is originally meant for the iBOB ..but I'm using a Roach board....I read that simply switching out iBOB:led to ROACH:led on the registers should suffice...but that may incorrect. Thanks a bunch for the help! -- -- Louis Dartez (956) 372-5812 Arecibo Remote Command Center Scholar Center for Gravitational Wave Astronomy University of Texas at Brownsville
