Operating over a temperature range from -20 to +70°C (-4 to +158°F), the PICO880 has been designed with expandability and flexibility in mind. The tiny embedded board has a full-size PCI Express Mini Card slots with mSATA support, one DDR3L SO-DIMM that supports up to 8GB memory capacity and also offers two optional expansion boards, AX93275 and AX93276 for additional RS-232/422/485, USB 3.0, HDMI, VGA and LAN interfaces.

The SBC provides two flexible board-to-board connectors that integrate audio, four USB 3.0, four USB 2.0, one PCIe x1, one DisplayPort, two UARTs, LED and power on/off interfaces.
