About the Panel PCB
Panel is an open source PCB design by kernelorg-mirror, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 101.3 × 127.5 mm, with 24 components from 14 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the FUSB302BMPX and C282330. By type, the board carries 13 resistors, 4 capacitors, 3 ICs, 3 connectors and 1 transistor.
From the project
Central Scrutinizer gadget
This is a KiCad project allowing to control an Apple M1/M2. It started its life as "m1-ubmc", but its real name is "Central Scrutinizer".
Basically a FUSB302, a couple of level shifters and a RPi Pico. The project has the component references for JLCPCB except for the Pico, and is (at the time of writing), pretty cheap to build. Gives you serial, reboot control and USB passthrough over a micro-USB connector.

Panel: common questions
How big is the Panel PCB?
The Panel measures 101.3 × 127.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Panel?
24 components, from 14 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Panel design files?
From the kernelorg-mirror/linux_kernel_git_maz_cs-hw repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Panel design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which kernelorg-mirror chose for the repository.
