This is the first major SoC integration phase. External memory is not a simple array:
latency varies, calibration matters, and reset sequencing becomes important.
The concrete map follows the roadmap: the 16 MB on-board SPI flash is mapped at
`0x0000_0000-0x00FF_FFFF` inside the reserved boot aperture, and the 256 MB DDR3L
DRAM replaces data BRAM at `0x8000_0000-0x8FFF_FFFF`.
## Learning Tasks
- Understand the Arty A7 memory devices and their address ranges.
- Understand the Arty A7 memory devices and the fixed address ranges above.
- Draw boot flow from reset to flash fetch to DRAM copy to jump.
- Decide how I-bus and D-bus arbitrate for DRAM.
