Hello!
My question is:

What is the most popular technique of producing and applying test vectors to
emulated design?
I assume that one of the following solutions can be used:

1. Dumping test vectors from behavioral testbench during simulation.
Applying from a file to emulated design.
2. Designing RTL testbench and emulating along with the design. Obtaining
PASSED/FAILED status from emulator.
3. Connecting emulator to real system (dealing with reduced speed (1 MHz) of
the emulated design).
4. Others?

I know that many engineers put the big emulator boxes in a corner and use
them most often as a stool ~.
Hopefully, someone has other experience and would like to share it with me.

Thanks in advance!

Don't know. I use procedures.
See the testbench here:
