There’s nothing in the Wiki about AM3352 boards yet, but Android and Debian will be supported, and you can have at look at the SoM schematics (PDF) and baseboard Eagle files.
AM3352-SOM and AM3352-SOMEVB can be purchased for 37 and 60 Euros on Olimex’ AM3352 product page. Industrial temperature version of the SoM can be manufactured on request for 5 Euros more, at an order of at least 100 pieces.
