We provide OEM/ODM with your brand, custom carrier boards, and turnkey kiosk solutions.
Q2: Why is RK3566 the ideal platform for interactive query terminals and self-service kiosks?
A: RK3566 offers the optimal balance of performance, cost, and power for interactive kiosks: Quad-core Cortex-A55 @1.8GHz provides smooth UI responsiveness for touch applications. Mali-G52 2EE GPU handles rich graphics, animations, and video playback. 1 TOPS NPU enables on-device AI (face recognition, gesture control, analytics) without cloud dependency. Low power (~6W) enables fanless, quiet, compact designs. Extensive interfaces — LVDS, eDP, MIPI-DSI, HDMI 2.0 (4K@60Hz), dual display, dual GbE, USB 3.0, RS232/RS485/CAN — connect every kiosk peripheral. Android 11-15 + Linux support, with GMS/EDLA certification. The result: an interactive terminal platform that is powerful, energy-efficient, cost-effective, and production-proven — which is why RK3566 dominates self-service and digital signage deployments globally.
Q3: What display and touch interfaces does AndroidSBC support for kiosk motherboards?
A: AndroidSBC kiosk boards support every display and touch technology: Display interfaces — LVDS (single/dual-channel), eDP, MIPI-DSI, HDMI 2.0 (4K@60Hz), V-by-One (4K), and RGB, supporting panels from 7-inch to 98-inch, resolutions 1366x768 to 3840x2160, including ultra-wide bar displays (1920x540). Touch interfaces — PCAP (capacitive) via I2C/USB (10-point and 20-point multi-touch), infrared (IR), and resistive; G+G and G+F capacitive panel support. Display features — dual independent display, triple heterogeneous display, multi-screen splicing, HDR10/HLG, 2500 nits outdoor high-brightness, 178-degree viewing angle. This comprehensive support enables you to build every kiosk form factor — floor-standing, wall-mounted, tabletop, open-frame, and stretched bar displays — with one AndroidSBC motherboard family.
Q4: How does 4G LTE connectivity benefit interactive query terminals and outdoor kiosks?
A: 4G LTE integration is transformative for deployed kiosks: (1) No local network dependency — kiosks operate independently of unreliable or unavailable site WiFi/ethernet, critical for outdoor, remote, and temporary deployments. (2) Instant deployment — power on, insert SIM, and the kiosk is cloud-connected (no cabling). (3) Centralized management — remote content updates, firmware OTA, diagnostics, and monitoring via 4G cloud connection. (4) Real-time data — live flight info, transit schedules, prices, and availability for information kiosks. (5) GPS/BeiDou positioning — location services for fleet tracking and geo-aware content. (6) Reliability — cellular networks offer higher uptime than site WiFi. AndroidSBC provides 4G LTE modules (FDD/TDD/WCDMA/GSM, Mini PCIe, dual SIM, eSIM) integrated into our kiosk boards — a decisive advantage for outdoor and large-scale kiosk networks.
Q5: What is kiosk mode and why is locked-down Android critical for self-service terminals?
A: Kiosk mode locks the Android device to a single application (or set of apps), preventing users from accessing the system, other apps, or settings — essential for unattended self-service terminals. AndroidSBC provides: Kiosk mode — locked-down Android running only your kiosk app (restaurant ordering, ticketing, wayfinding, payment). App pinning — prevent exit or unauthorized app access. Restricted settings — lock out system settings, status bar, and navigation. Auto-launch — your app launches on boot. Remote management — content and firmware updates via cloud CMS. Security — restricted USB/adb, secure boot. Benefits: prevents tampering, ensures the kiosk always shows your content, reduces support calls, and protects your brand. AndroidSBC's kiosk-mode firmware is a critical feature for self-service deployments — reliability that matters when kiosks operate unattended.
Q7: What OEM/ODM customization can AndroidSBC provide for kiosk motherboards?
A: AndroidSBC offers complete OEM/ODM: Private label — your brand on proven certified boards. Custom carrier board — custom I/O, connectors, and form factor for your specific kiosk. Custom firmware — custom Android OS, boot animation, kiosk mode, pre-installed apps, custom UI. Custom BSP — Android AOSP or Linux BSP development, driver customization. Hardware customization — custom peripherals, camera integration, specific display/touch requirements. Full ODM — your concept developed into a custom kiosk motherboard (8-12 weeks to prototype). Our 50+ engineer R&D team provides dedicated engineering support, NDA protection, and IP assignment. This enables you to build a differentiated, branded kiosk product line without investing in hardware engineering.
