You have to loosen it on the DRAM, too - you're loosening the tCL on the ASIC, but not the DRAM, throwing them off.

Interesting.  So the memory controller (or driver) isn't smart enough to take tCL from SEQ_CAS_TIMING and use same value for MR0 Cas Latency?
edit: I don't even understand how this would work at all.  If the controller is expecting the data 22 cycles after the read, but MR0 is programmed for 21, then wouldn't that cause a 100% error rate?


It actually seems to have a tolerance of one value up or down before it stops working entirely.

So I need to update MC_SEQ_MISC1, offset 54 in the hex string of the strap (offset 27 in bytes).  Are the 3 hex chars at offset 55-57 the 12 bits for MR0, or is that MR1 and MR0 is 59-61?
I know I could figure it out by comparing different straps and seeing how the bits map to the register values, but since you seem to have already figured it out...
