Booting linux on VC707 without FMC PCIe module

Archive Freedom U500

we trying to boot Linux on VC707 using freedom u500 SDK. We are following the steps mentioned in u500 starter guide. But we are unable to boot Linux.
Going through some of the answers in the forum we have learnt that FMC PCIe module is necessary since it provides main clock source.
Is it possible to boot Linux without FMC PCIe module?
Also is it possible to modify RTL code of the bitstream to get clock source from main board itself instead of FMC module ? if so could you kindly provide us link to the source code of the bitstream?
