|=======================

Implementation of the processor-internal data memory is enabled via the processor's _MEM_INT_DMEM_EN_

generic. The size in bytes is defined via the _MEM_INT_DMEM_SIZE_ generic. If the DMEM is implemented,

the memory is mapped into the data memory space and located right at the beginning of the data memory

space (default `dspace_base_c` = 0x80000000). The DMEM is always implemented as true RAM.

[NOTE]

The actual DMEM is split into two design files: a plain entity definition (`neorv32_dmem.entity.vhd`) and the actual

architecture definition (`mem/neorv32_dmem.default.vhd`). This **default architecture** provides a _generic_ and

_platform independent_ memory design that (should) infers embedded memory block. You can replace/modify the architecture

source file in order to use platform-specific features (like advanced memory resources) or to improve technology mapping

and/or timing.
