Most of the platforms use a templated setup in hal_platform_setup.h, eg.

packages/hal/arm/at91/[your
platform]/current/include/hal_platform_setup.h

[...]

_InitMemory:
        .long   0x01002529  // 0x01000000, 16MB,  2 cycles  after
transfer, 				    // 16-bit, 6 wait states
        .long   0x02002121  // 0x02000000, 16MB,  0 cycles after
transfer, 				    // 16-bit, 1 wait state
        .long   0x20000000  // unused
        .long   0x30000000  // unused
        .long   0x05002021  // 0x05000000, 1MB,   0 cycles after
transfer, 				    // 16-bit, 1 wait state
(MEC01 on CS4)
        .long   0x05102021  // 0x05100000, 1MB,   0 cycles after
transfer, 				    // 16-bit, 1 wait state
(MEC01 on CS5)
        .long   0x60000000  // unused
        .long   0x70000000  // unused
        .long   0x00000001  // REMAP command
        .long   0x00000000  // Standard read protocol
        .long   AT91_EBI    // External Bus Interface address
        .long   10f         // address where to jump

[...]

Figure out what the correct values for the EBI chip selects are for your
platform and then add them here.

Extensive ARM assembly skills are not required, just a little bit of
reading and perhaps stepping through the setup code with a debugger if
things don't go how you're expecting.
