I'm currently writing a test bench for a model and I have a couple of questions. 1) Does VHDL have any hooks provided to take in user input during run time? (Ex. prompting for information) 2) If (1) is possible, is there a way to prompt the user for a filename, and then use this in a file object declaration? (Ex. FILE myfile:text IS IN input_variable_name) I've only seen hardcoded or generic map implementations of this. The reason for these questions is that I want to write only one test bench, and then use this test bench for multiple input stimulus files. I know there are ways around this, but I want something efficient. Thanks in advance
