The syntax is:
$ data2mem -bm my.bmm -bd code.elf -bt my.bit -o b new.bit

The difficult part is to assemble .bmm. There is an option INIT_f1
creating BMM map for us.

Verilog Coding INIT_fl Example -
RAMB16 #(.INIT_fl("file.mem")
          ...)
ramb16_0 ( <port mapping>);

But what is .elf, as I need to somehow supply prom.mem instead?
