Wave Insight

Click to try the web demo

A web based wave viewer

Platform

• wasm version: you can click here to have a try. It's only a website so you don't need to download anything or install anything. Normally, web browser only gives 4GB of memory for wasm, so it may crash when you try to load a big vcd file
• tauri version: a local app for windows, linux and mac os. You can download at release page. For windows user, you can download wave_insight_tauri.exe to run. For linux user, you can download wave_insight_tauri_ubuntu, and then you need to run chmod a+x wave_insight_tauri_ubuntu and ./wave_insight_tauri_ubuntu to run this app. For mac user, same to linux user except for the app is wave_insight_tauri_mac. You can drag .vcd or .v file on the app to load
• server version: still on developing. For those who like simulate on a remote server. The vcd parser and verilog parser will running on the server. All the communications between server and your web browser are only: which file you want to read, verilog source code, which signal you want to see, and the signal value.

Build

wasm version

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
cargo install trunk
cd front-end
trunk serve --release

then you can open your browser and go to localhost:8080

tauri version

download from release page, or build on your own

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
cargo install trunk
cargo install tauri
cargo tauri build

server version

coming soon

rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
cargo install trunk
cd front-end
trunk build --no-default-features --release --features backend
cd ..
cd back-end
cargo build --release

Usage

load .vcd and .verilog file

Todos

• better verilog parser(will move to project Werilog)
• add signal to waveshow window when clicking on verilog code
• signal driver tree and load tree
• write the value on the driver/load tree base on the cursor position
• export signal value to .txt or .mat or csv
• inline python for writing own process on signal value
• signal value show in analog way
• signal value show in fixed point way
• better signal search: match case, match whole word, and regular expression
• signal bundles: axi, avalong and so on
• SpinalHDL
