+//! This build script copies the `memory.x` file from the crate root into
+//! a directory where the linker can always find it at build time.
+//! For many projects this is optional, as the linker always searches the
+//! project root directory -- wherever `Cargo.toml` is. However, if you
+//! are using a workspace or have a more complicated build setup, this
+//! build script becomes required. Additionally, by requesting that
+//! Cargo re-run the build script whenever `memory.x` is changed,
+//! updating `memory.x` ensures a rebuild of the application with the
+//! new memory settings.
