The piA-AM3354 is a single board computer based on ARM® Cortex™-A8 architecture enclosed in industry standard top-hat rail housing. Its combination of above-average performance combined with high power efficiency makes the piA-AM3354 a good choice for mobile communication as well as stationary controller applications. Due to its small size it is the ideal solution, when there is not enough space for a full-sized PC system.

In addition to Ethernet, RS485 and USB, the piA-AM3354 allows data exchange via CAN/CANOpen and GPRS/UMTS. The communication of multiple modules can be carried ou by a CAN-based DIN rail (CH20M DIN rail bus), which replaces the traditional wiring by an uninterrupted and flexible system solution.
The sustainability of the system is underlined through the usage of Linux as an operating system. As an alternative to preconfigured Ångström based system, any Linux distribution that supports ARMv7 (f.g. Debian, Poky) can be used. For the development of customized applications a cross compiler SDK (C/C++, QT, diverse libraries) is available.

Since the piA-AM3354 architecture is similar to the wide-spread Beagle-/Craneboard designs, there is a large and actively supporting open-source development community.

A performance upgrade is possible by exchanging the processor module.
