Hi Zoran,

thank you for the reply.
[1] In this you can find some information about the device (link 
<https://github.com/opencomputeproject/OpenNetworkLinux/blob/master/packages/platforms/delta/armel/arm-delta-ag6248c/arm-delta-ag6248c-poe/platform-config/r0/src/lib/arm-delta-ag6248c-poe-r0.yml>). 
In this patch the dts (link 
<https://github.com/opencomputeproject/OpenNetworkLinux/blob/663642e817c33d44d5e4dd1f98247addd68c9f5c/packages/base/any/kernels/3.2-lts/configs/arm-iproc-all/patches/platform-delta-ag6248c-device-drivers.patch>). 
The platform is an arm cortexa9.
[2] This is how I install the image

install_uimage() {
echo "Format Nand Flash region\n"
flash_erase /dev/mtd-open 0 0
nandwrite -p /dev/mtd-open fitImage-core-image-base-delta-ag6248c-poe.bin
sync; sync
}

hw_load() {
echo "nand read \$loadaddr open 0x1000000 && run fpboot && bootm"
}

I'll attach the log from when I install the image to when it the kernel 
hangs.

Thank you,
Pierluigi
