At this time the generic lpae kernel install on the midway systems.

Install Steps from the uboot prompt:

dhcp
tftpboot ${kernel_addr_r} 10.0.0.10:/vmlinuz
tftpboot ${ramdisk_addr_r} 10.0.0.10:/initrd.gz
setenv bootargs "console=ttyAMA0"
fdt addr 1000
fdt set / model "Calxeda ECX-2000"
bootz ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r}:${filesize} ${fdt_addr}

Follow the prompts from the ncurses install menu
