najaeada - Getting closer to an industrial grade ECO solution with an open source stack
summary
An open C++ netlist framework naja (C++ framework) plus a Python wrapper najaeda (PyPI) provide Verilog and Liberty parsing, cross‑boundary equal‑potential analysis, and editing with automatic uniquification so module edits don’t break instantiations. Common ECOs like removeless logic run as a 25‑line Python script instead of C++ builds. A verification flow uses an intermediate stable‑index “n” format to extract minimal changed scopes for targeted checks. Demonstrated on multi‑million‑gate designs and funded by NGI0 and NLnet.
