How to find memory data width (x16 or x32?)

SO CONFIGURE FOR THE WIDEST POSSIBILITY AND TEST FOR THE MEMORY ALIASING. Sheesh, this is what I and others have been telling you.

Thanks all for the help. I am now able to correct memory width and size configuration. I still have one problem. The approach suggested here works only if there is a memory connected on given chip select. Is it possible to find if the memory is actually present on a given chip select? I have a device which has 256MB SDRAM on cs0, but there is no memory on cs1. I tried reading some status registers for cs1, but they look the same as cs0. So I can't determine if the memory is actually present there.

Thanks for this link. I have tried the test given there to check for missing memory chip. But in my case, the controller hangs if I try to access the memory which is not connected. When I am using JTAG to debug this, it shows "emulation running" message. Any inputs on this?
