None trivial to be sure, but probably not rocket science. I'm sure
I've seen a project or two in Elektor (iirc) that used SDRAM. But
a quick flick through a few likely issues failed to produce
anything.

I've never had to interface to SDRAM, so I cannot say how hard it
is. But the data sheets are readily available.
