In Xilinx SDK, first column is base addr, second column is high addr (from
xparameters.h I assume).  So I'm reading the SDK as:

psu_ddr_0     0x0000_0000   -> 0x7fff_ffff
psu_ddr_1     0x8_0000_0000 -> 0xb_7fff_ffff

which looks like 2GiBs for the first one, and 15GiB for the second. Maybe
I'm not doing the math right here..

How are you seeing this? I'm a bit confused, since I understand registers
as

    reg = <base size>

but the device tree has a tuple of 4. So I'm not understanding what each
element in the tuple means semantically:

reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x80000000>, <0x00000008 0x00000000 0x0 0x80000000>;

Bank 1: A1=0x0        A2=0x0        A3=0x0 A4=0x80000000
Bank 2: A1=0x00000008 A2=0x00000000 A3=0x0 A4=0x80000000

But the sizes seem wrong to me.

We set the DDR in the PS of the block design to 16 GiB as referenced in
this screenshot:

Thanks a lot for the help so far! Greatly appreciate it,
