I just checked the part number on the 4GB RAM chips - and indeed, it is
the K4B8G1646D, which means we have the DDR3 and NOT the DDR3L version
(which would be K4B8G1646Q).

That's the reason we need 1.5V here.
So we got the wrong memory chips for our use case!

I'll check back with what we ordered and what we received.

 Somehow we need 1.50V for the 4GB DDR3 to work reliably.
 No idea so far why this is though.

 And here's the related kernel dts change for 1.50V.

 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: dts: Fix up DDR3 voltage for pyra 4G

 Looks like we need 1.50V instead of 1.35V for pyra-4g
 DDR3 to work reliably. Note that this needs to match
 the voltage configured by the bootloader.

 When testing memory with two instances of memtester 1900M
 for example, make sure ti-soc-thermal and thermal-generic-adc
 modules are loaded. You may also need to use a proper heat
 sink on the CPU board.
