Hi,

You are correct for data bus. Addresses are more
complex matter.

For 8 bit memory you have to route address 31 to the
memory device LSB address line and, for 16 bit
configuration you have to route address 30 of the MCU
to the memory lsb address line. Other lines should be
routed accordingly.

So to have 8/16 bit memory option on one board you'll
need or a lot of jumpers or three memory placeholders
- one for 8 bit option and two for 16 bit option.

Regards
Alex.
