Compact and cost-optimized design, certifiable and with industry-standard software support with Yocto-BSP: The phyBOARD-Mira is a powerful single board computer for industrial use. 

The heart of the SBC is the phyCORE-i.MX 6 module with the i.MX 6 Cortex-A9 processor from NXP. Typical interfaces such as Ethernet, USB, RS-232 / RS-485, CAN, microSD card holder and miniPCIe are built directly on the phyBOARD-Mira. An expansion bus offers access to many other interfaces and expansion options via plug-in boards. 

HDMI, LVDS and parallel interfaces as well as connection options for resistive and capacitive touch serve as the user front end.

The AM335x module is directly soldered onto this compact single board computer in Pico-ITX format.

• AM3354 with 800 MHz
• Module soldered on directly
• 2x Ethernet
• 2x RS-232, 1x CAN
• Expansion bus for extensions
• 5 V or 12 V - 24 V.

The phyBOARD-Wega in Pico-ITX format (100 mm x 72 mm) is the tiny among the phyBOARDs. A subset is brought out directly to the phyBOARD at interfaces, which is completely sufficient for many applications. In addition, the AM335x single board computer can be modularly expanded using expansion strips. The phyCORE-AM3354 module (in its DSC variant) with ARM Cortex-A8 processor is soldered directly to the phyBOARD-Wega and thus the costs of the overall solution are further reduced.

A number of signals from the AM335x processor are routed to an expansion connector that is intended for plugging in customer-specific circuits. These process connections can easily be implemented by the customer himself. For the customer-specific combination of an individual system, further interfaces are provided on connector strips, such as CAN, RS-232, audio and touch. Connect display and touch efficiently, for this purpose the parallel display interface and the connection of a resistive touch to the AM335x are available. Alternatively, capacitive touches can be connected.
