Summary

This paper describes the technical development and characterisation of a novel high-speed X-ray imaging spectroscopy instrument incorporating a Zynq System-on-Chip for on-board data processing in solar physics applications. The work demonstrates how field-programmable gate array acceleration enables real-time spectroscopic imaging of rapid solar transient events. This is primarily an instrumental physics contribution with no direct relevance to agricultural, nutritional, or food systems research.

UK applicability

This paper has no applicability to UK agricultural policy, farming systems, soil health, nutrient density, or food production research. It is a specialist solar physics instrumentation paper.

Key measures
