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

memory for _larger_ memory configurations. You might need to replace/modify the source file in order to use

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

platform-specific features (like advanced memory resources) or to improve technology mapping and/or timing.
