Description

This Tcl command associates a stimulus file in your project. Before running simulation, you must associate a test bench. If you attempt to run simulation without an associated test bench, the Libero SoC Project Manager asks you to associate a test bench or open the simulator without a test bench.

associate_stimulus [-file {absolute path and name of the file}] \
                   [-mode "new | add | remove" ] -module "module"
