In 2015, both facilities initiated the collaboration project 'PandA' to overcome technical limitations of SPIETBOX at SOLEIL and Zebra at Diamond as well as to manage obsolescence of the products. The collaboration enables both institutes to share the technical leadership on hardware, firmware and software developments. The initial objective is to achieve multi-channel encoder processing to synchronize motion systems and acquisition during experiments addressing simultaneous and multi-technique scanning. However, its design based on Xilinx Zynq SoC is thought to be powerful and modular in terms of firmware as well as for hardware. This flexibility permits envisaging derivative applications and interfacing to different third party hardware. This paper details the organization of this collaboration, status of the ongoing project in terms of hardware and firmware capabilities and the results of the first tests at both sites.
