Hi everyone,

In preparation for the introduction of the long-awaited SimpleDRAM model, I am 
making the SimpleMemory a single-ported memory controller, i.e. replacing the 
VectorSlavePort with a SlavePort. For most regressions this is not a problem as 
we rely on the bus to do any (de)multiplexing. However, for some of the 
synthetic test cases, the change causes issues, and most notably so for the 
memtester (and some Ruby testers).

My question is: why do we need the funcmem is the memtester? Can we not simply 
rely on the one-single memory and the timing vs functional accesses to this 
memory?

If we really need a second memory then I propose to introduce a "funcbus" that 
does the (de)multiplexing between the testers and the funcmem.

Sounds reasonable?

Thanks,

Andreas
