+/*  
+Data Memory for Harvard Interface
+- RAM Size: 32 x 2^32 = 32 x 4294967296
+- Zero-cycle / combinatorial reads
+- Instruction in binaries or hex -> RAM_INIT_FILE
+
+Needs checking with:
+-- clk_enable input being used instead of clk
+-- whether there is a more efficient way of initialising memory to zero (line 32)
+-- how to implement given that you cannot read and write in the same cycle (line 48)
+-- special memory locations: 0x00000000 (CPU halt), 0xBFC00000 (start execution after reset)
+        -> Should PC be 0xBFC00000 at the start and 0x00000000 at the end?
+        -> And should instructions start from 0xBFC00000?
+        -> Put halt instruction at 0x00000000 by default? - What is the halt instruction?
