Hi,
I finally got HiFIve1 on the New Years’ Eve.
I can access to the board from VMware by just connecting “Future Devices Dual RS232-HS” using pull down menu.
By creating /etc/udev/rules.d/99-openocd.rules as documented, screen works without sudo.
But "make upload" still needs sudo. I don’t know why.
$ groups
osboxes adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
crw-rw-r-- 1 root plugdev 188, 1 Jan 1 13:26 /dev/ttyUSB1
osboxes@osboxes:~/Work/riscv/sifive/freedom-e-sdk-rv32imac$ make upload PROGRAM=dhrystone BOARD=freedom-e300-hifive1

I hope this helps users who only have Windows machine.
Anyway I can upload a program by using sudo.
Here is the dhrystone numbers w/o and w/ the C extension.
