Maybe I am wrong, because I don't have an EPIA-M, or the datasheet of the
northbridge.
There is code like this in freebios/src/northbridge/via/vt8623/raminit.inc:
CS_WRITE($0x5a, $0x08)
CS_WRITE($0x5b, $0x08)
CS_WRITE($0x5c, $0x08)
CS_WRITE($0x5d, $0x08)
Change all the 0x08's to 0x10 for 256MB, 0x20 for 512MB, etc.
If your DIMM is double-sided, halve the value of the first one.
Always test with memtest86 before running Linux, corrupt RAM
configuration may damage your filesystem.
