Description

My program uses some of the memory addresses as primary inputs. Is there any way to initialize these addresses before stating simulation? I am trying to simulate my software on the Ibex Simple System.

Research direction

Start by locating the Ibex Simple System simulation entry point and checking how memory addresses are populated before simulation begins. Determine whether the requested pre-initialization path already exists; done means providing a verified way to initialize primary-input addresses before running the simulated software.
