The X4_400 image has no decimation inline.  That means that the block needs
to be able to handle 491.52 or 500 Msps coming into it.  That means more
than 1 sample per clock being fed into the block.  If you don't handle more
than 1 sample per clock going into the block, then you will get overflows
because the RFNoC framework is translating from N samples per clock down
into 1 sample per clock at the clock rate - my guess is it's either 122.88
MHz or 245.76 MHz? - which isn't fast enough to keep up.

I was recently told that the DRAM clock is 250 MHz which makes for a
perfect computation engine clock for 491.52 Msps data, but still slightly
slow for a 500 Msps stream due to the RFNoC header overhead.

tl;dr: Use multiple items per clock in that block to avoid overflow with
the X4_400 image.

Good luck.
