ReadyPanel

User’s Guide

The ReadyPanel products are intended for users of turn-key embedded systems who prefer long life cycle, 
configuration controlled computers over desktop grade systems with frequently changing motherboards.

the Intel Celeron

® M CPU to the Intel Pentium® M CPU, and a range of SODIMMs described in the 

reference manual of each ReadyBoard product. The desired operating system (OS) is pre-loaded onto the
