I look at Example 8 in Section 12.1.3.4 and see a lot of things I don't understand or seem not 100% correct.

It's mostly a lot of little picky stuff, but still ...

Let's start with what I'm more or less sure of:

- In the instantiation of sms_16b216t0, "...rasb" should be ".rasb", "...dqi" should be ".dqi".
- In the instantiation of sms_16b208t0, "...rasb" should be ".rasb", "...dev_id" should be ".dev_id".

- In the instantiation of sms_16b208t0, i should run from 0 to 7.

I'm less sure of the rest, since I am not familiar with DIMMs.
The example seems to be incomplete, which I do not like.
I think examples in standards documents should contain all needed details.

Adam, I think these examples originated with you.
Can you check these details ? Thanks.

- input adr is [11:0], but only [10:0] are used in both instantiations.

- input ds[7:0] is not used at all.

- Is clk really [3:0] ?

- wires rasb, casb, csb, web, bex[7:0] are not used at all.

- The 8M 16b wide mem is called sms_16b216t0,
while the 16M 8b wide mem is called sms_16b208t0.
Is that correct? What's the naming convention ?

- devid3[4:0] and devid7[4:0] are undeclared.

- The input adr to dimm is 12b wide, whereas the input address to task read_mem is 32b wide.

- Task read_mem appears to call a task with the same name which is apparently defined within the sms modules, but not shown. The use
of the same task name for both is confusing.
