Don't count on connecting a CPU bus. Those days are long gone. The
speeds are too high. DDR and flash memory usually have dedicated
busses. Even if you could craft something that resembles a memory bus
there are many issues to work out. Especially if you would make the
bus go over headers. Nowadays you'd use GPIO, I2C, SPI or USB.
