    The settings in the first window (Memory Profile) look correct (16 Bits, 1 Chip Select, 4 Banks, 12 Rows, 9 Columns)

    For the second window I would put:

    CAS latency cycles: 3

    Init refresh cycles: 2

    Refresh command every: 7.8125us (needs to refresh 8192 times in 64ms)

    Delay after power up: 200us (not given in the datasheet, but should be in the order of several 100s of us)

    t_rfc: 70ns

    t_rp: 20ns

    t_rcd: 20ns

    t_ac: 5.5ns

    t_wr: 15

    t_rfc, t_ac and t_wr are guesses on my behalf, but it should work as most SDRAM chips of these specs follow the same parameters. If it doesn't work try increasing the values of those three.
