If you’ve ever needed a complete, industrial-grade touchscreen computer that you can simply bolt onto a panel and power up, the LCD7-PANEL-LIME2 is built exactly for that job.
What it is
The LCD7-PANEL-LIME2 is a fully assembled all-in-one unit that combines four things Olimex usually sells separately into a single, ready-to-deploy package:
LCD7-PANEL – a plastic frame with six spring brackets and two PCB brackets, designed to mount a 7″ LCD onto rigid panels from 0.5 mm to 4 mm thick
LCD-OLinuXino-7CTS (1024×600) – a 7-inch LCD with capacitive touch
A20-OLinuXino-LIME2-e16Gs16M – an open source ARM Linux computer powered by an Allwinner Dual Core Cortex-A7 A20, with 1GB RAM, 16GB eMMC storage, and Gigabit Ethernet
CABLE-4040-10CM – the connecting ribbon cable between the boards
Everything arrives assembled, with the digital touch panel enabled and Linux already installed. No soldering, no driver wrangling, no separate sourcing of brackets and cables — just mount it and power it on.
Why it matters
Designing a touchscreen HMI from individual components usually means hunting down a compatible display, a capable SBC, the right mounting hardware, and then getting the touch drivers and OS working together. The LCD7-PANEL-LIME2 skips all of that. It’s a single SKU that drops straight into:
Industrial control panels
M2M (machine-to-machine) interfaces
IoT consoles and dashboards
Any embedded Linux project that needs a touchscreen front end without custom integration work
Because it’s built on the A20-OLinuXino-LIME2, you get a real Linux environment with mainline Linux Kernel underneath — full root access, open source hardware design files, and the flexibility to install whatever software stack your application needs. The Linux is installed on board’s eMMC Flash.

The LCD7-PANEL-LIME2 is in stock now as open source hardware: www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/LCD/LCD7-PANEL-LIME2
If you’re building an industrial console, a kiosk, or any project that needs a Linux-powered touchscreen without the integration headache, this is the shortcut.
