PandABox II
The PandABox II Project is a collaboration between ALBA, DESY, DIAMOND, MAXIV, and SOLEIL, to enhance the existing “Position and Acquisition” processing platform called PandABox II. It will provide a New processor Zynq Ultrascale, more configurable I/O, more SFP, and supporting multiple encoder standards (incremental, SSI, BISS…). It will deliver synchronous triggering and data capture capabilities.
The project is divided into four sections :
- Hardware design: Board schematic and layout, mechanics.
- Gateware support: HDL reference designs.
- Software support: Linux device driver, library and tools.
- Testing support: Production and functional tests.
