I try to running coreboot on HiFive Unleashed, but nothing come from uart.
I tested by the following steps:
1. Write hifive-unleashed-a00-1.0-2018-03-20.gpt to TF card. 2. Change MSEL to 11 and boot linux 3. Copy coreboot.rom via scp 4. Write coreboot.rom to /dev/mtd0 by flashcp. 5. Change MSEL to 15 and boot coreboot. No response on uart.
Do you have any suggestions?

How did you listen to the UART? Note that the FTDI Chip on the H5U will show up as two serial ports on the computer that it is connected to (usually /dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB1). The first one is for JTAG and the second one is for UART. Also make sure that you configure the right baud rate (115200 usually) on /dev/ttyUSB1.
You might also have to power-cycle the board and/or press the reset button. Sometimes that helps.
If you continue to see no output, perhaps there is a bug in coreboot that prevents the output. Whenever I tested coreboot on the H5U, I could always see output, but I haven't tested it recently.

I am sure my uart configuration is 115200 8N1 on /dev/ttyUSB1. I have a power cycle after the burn is complete.

I tried it again. Press reset key can see the serial output. Maybe the power is turned on too fast. The computer does not capture the serial port data.
Below is my serial output

Unfortunately, the FTDI chip is also behind the power button, so when you release the power button, the FTDI chip starts up, and minicom has to reconnect, and at the same time the SoC already starts running and printing things on the UART.
Something like this helps sometimes:
- Power the board off via the power button - Press and hold the reset button - Power the board on - Wait until minicom has reconnected - Release the reset button

Hmm, this looks like a bug.

I just tried the same version (coreboot-4.8-2282-gc88828daeb), and it worked, both with a 1 MiB coreboot image and a 32 MiB coreboot image:

One thing I did differently was to program the flash via OpenOCD[1], rather than from Linux like you did it. Maybe something is broken in Linux or flashcp?
