 * @brief Memory Manager for the \nRFXX SDK
 *
 * @details This module allows for dynamic use of memory. Currently,
 * this module can be used only to allocate and free memory in the RAM.
 *
 * The Memory Manager manages static memory blocks of fixed sizes. These blocks can be requested for
 * usage, and freed when the application no longer needs them. A maximum of seven block categories
 * can be managed by the module. These block categories are identified by xxsmall, xmall, small,
 * medium, large, xlarge, and xxlarge. They are ordered in increasing block sizes.
 * The size and the count of each of the block categories can be configured based on the application
 * requirements in the configuration file @c sdk_config.h.
 * To use fewer than seven buffer pools, do not define the count for the unwanted block
 * or explicitly set it to zero. At least one block category must be configured
 * for this module to function as expected.
