I’m going to implemt u500 platform in the vcu118  
First I commet the FMC in the VCU118NewShell.scala  
// val fmc = Overlay(PCIeOverlayKey) (new PCIeVCU118FMCOverlay (\_, \_, _))  
// val edge = Overlay(PCIeOverlayKey) (new PCIeVCU118EdgeOverlay (_, \_, \_))  
then,I use the comand to generate the mcs and pre files  
$ make -f Makefile.vcu118-u500devkit mcs  
and I use the freedom-u-sdk to generate the bbl.bin,and use dd move it to a microsd card,using pmod0 to connect to the vcu118  
but when i power on the board,and use uart to connect the board and master computer,i get the information as follow and stacked.
