Indy® SDK
Indy reader chips, the world’s most deployed UHF RFID reader platform, come with a feature rich software development kit (SDK). The SDK provides a robust API library and an extensive sample code library that will simplify application development. This SDK includes:
Impinj Indy® SDK
| Host SDK |
MAC Firmware |
|
|
Register-based interface to a single-state machine core
Gen 2 protocol control (to perform tasks such as inventory, read, write, lock, kill, select, etc.)
Performs all RFID reader modem operations
Flexibility to support worldwide regional operation
Access to metrics such as RSSI per tag information
Extensive inventory parameter configuration
Resides on ARM7 microcontroller

C++ and C# sample applications provided
Full Indy API support via SDK
|
| Advanced Monza® Features Support |
FastID™ inventory allows users to read the EPC and TID in a single read operation for 220% faster access. This function is especially useful in authentication applications, where the serialized TID is critical data.
TagFocus™ mode improves read reliability when inventorying large tag population by providing improved ability to read the "hard to reach" tags.
Two-word block write improves throughput during encoding operations.

| Advanced OEM Configuration |
MAC initialization code to reduce host commands at startup |
| Design for Test (DFT) |
Built-in engineering test commands that enable fast development of engineering and production test capabilities |
| Japanese LBT Requirement Support |
Enables operation in Japan |
