/* Ram shim. This is an interface designed for a LiteX RAM DMA module.
 * It can also be connected to a simulator.
 *
 * The read end is implemented in C since all of this is backed by memory.
 *
 * In between the system RAM and the raster scan is a block RAM FIFO so
 * scanning is not interrupted by transient RAM accesses from the system.
 *
 * THIS MODULE ASSUMES that RAM_WORD < DAT_WID < RAM_WORD*2.
