But uart doesn’t have anyting output.

I want to know if the HiTechGlobal X8 PCI Express Gen1 / 2/3 FMC module is required.

It is by default, but you can disable it.

In freedom/fpga-shells/src/main/scala/shell/xilinx/VC707NewShell.scala:213 comment out the line:

  val pcie      = Overlay(PCIeOverlayKey)      (new PCIeVC707Overlay    (_, _, _))

Thank you very much, I successfully started linux according to your suggestion.
