This makes it easier for external tools to change boot ROM

Thanks! Parameterization is something I don't have much experience with, but will need to research going further.

I hear that Vivado does not support readmemh() though when instantiating block RAMs. This is a horrible design decision on Xilinx's part. What are they thinking?! I'll have to think of something else for a computer that is actually synthesizable.

Are you sure about that? I'm pretty convinced that works

Jan Gray had problems with his GRVI project, according to what he expressed during the RISC-V workshop. Dunno; I don't use Vivado.
