In message [ref] you wrote:
       Generally how bootloader/bootflash code detects
the size of RAM on the board? Is it hardcoded some
where in the bootflash code or is it detected using
memory chips ?
One method is to probe addresses (at N, 2*N, 4*N etc. starting with a
resonable value of N like 1 MB) until probing fails. See for  example
common/memsize.c in the U-Boot sources.

Best regards,
