Have you tried 2T timing? This causes the memory controller to wait an
extra cycle before sending a command. The delay can compensate for
slight misconfiguration of other signal timing settings so it's a good
place to start.

Also try different RCOMP values. I have no idea what RCOMP is but I
remember having to tweak it to get the memory to behave.
