Arty-S7 only has HR bank where the DDR3 is connected, this restricts the design to use on-chip split-termination for impedance matching insteadd of DCI used in HP banks. This is where `IN_TERM UNTUNED_SPLIT_50` came from where ### Note: [1]: For x16 DDR3 like in Arty S7, use `DQ_BITS` of 8 and `LANES` of 2 (not `DQ_BITS` of 16 or else the controller will not calibrate each bytes separately).
