In the existing testbench the binary preload takes a lot of time due to JTAG load. A fast preload of binary is done by forcing the relevant signals in the narrow interconnect of the memory island. The method still relies on JTAG to halt and unhalt the core whereas the preload(significant portion) is done through forcing the relevant memory signals.

Could this be automatic or not decorated instead of static

Using automatic variable leads to compilation error that it is not allowed in the force statement.
