Indago.NET (IndagoSharp, Indago#)

Introduction

The Indago.NET (or IndagoSharp, Indago#) is a .NET implementation for Indago Scripting API, which allow user to access, control and analysis the database of Cadence(R) Indago(R) Interactive Verification Enviroment.

The Indago.NET is rewritten by official Python scripting library provided by Cadence. The target of this project is provide a complete enviroment in C#, contains all functions in the Python API. We'd also like to provide new features that implement based on the library.

Development Enviroment

Indago.NET is developing under latest .NET 8 and C# 12.0, we are happy to use the latest technologies to develop the software.

All library files are written by C#, and with some third-party library (Google.Protobuf, gRPC.NET, etc.), and the Microsoft .NET standard libraries. The base framework of the project is .NET 8.

Reference Library

The development source is from the official of Cadence Indago (current version is 22.09).

Implemented Functions

We have implemented these functions of the official Python API

• Connect running local Indago Server with port
• Startup a new Indago Server with specific database
• Query the scopes in the database, including the scope's name, path, declaration info.
• Query the signals in the database, including the signal's name, width, path, declaration info.
• Get/set the current debug time
• Get the value of any signal in any time
• Register event handler for Current Debug Location Change (CDL_CHANGE)

We are still working on these functions:

• Multiple database support
• Get ports, supply nets, power awares and other info. of scopes
• Get drivers and loads of a signal
• Get expression informations
• Indago GUI functions
• Other event handler of Indago, like Key and Mouse action, selection, waveform change
• Cursor control

Plan of Development

We are now processing the base library to implement all functions in official Indago Python API.

Tools Using This Library

There some parctical tools using this library:

• IndagoPatchViewer: A tool can realtime display the value as a image patch of selected signal
