Product Introduction: AndroidSBC RK3588 B2B Connector Core Board
The AndroidSBC board line covers 4GB to 32GB memory and 32GB to 256GB storage configurations for factory automation, vision inspection, transport, energy, medical and smart building projects, with dual Ethernet, multi-serial, CAN and wide-temperature options.
Core Features:
- China-Based Manufacturing: AndroidSBC is based in Shenzhen, China and focuses on RK3588 industrial embedded boards, with in-house SMT production, board assembly and 48-hour aging and burn-in tests
- Certification Transparency: real documentation for applicable certified models - instead of simply stating a product is "certified", buyers can verify the certificate files for the exact model they intend to purchase
- Genuine RK3588 Silicon: boards carry authentic Rockchip RK3588 octa-core processors with hardware 8K decode and a 6 TOPS NPU, and the SoC marking can be checked at pre-shipment inspection
- Industrial IO: multi-serial RS232 / RS485, CAN, dual Gigabit Ethernet, GPIO and wide-voltage power are designed into the carrier, not bolted on with adapters
- Private Label Support: carrier layout, memory, boot logo, packaging, manuals and firmware parameters customized according to project requirements
- Global Market Experience: we work with distributors, integrators and embedded brands worldwide and understand export steps, certification questions, OS licensing and labeling preferences

Application Scenarios for Global Market
| Scenario | Recommended model | Key benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Custom machine controller carrier | RK-SOM | An OEM drops the SOM onto their own board to keep the exact connector layout of their existing product |
| Medical display terminal | RK-SOM | A device maker pairs the SOM with a medical-grade carrier and their own enclosure |
| AGV brain module | RK-SOM | Robot builders replace the compute module without touching the motor and sensor carrier |
| Multi-product platform | RK-SOM | One SOM design feeds several carriers, so a single qualification covers the whole product family |
Certified RK3588 Industrial Board Manufacturing for Global Markets
Certification and document integrity decide how fast an export shipment clears customs and how quickly an OEM project gets approved. AndroidSBC provides real documentation for applicable certified models instead of generic claims. Buyers should verify the certificate information for the exact model they intend to purchase, because per-model files are what customs and compliance teams actually accept.

For customers exporting RK3588 industrial boards, AndroidSBC supports CE, FCC, RoHS and UKCA documentation with per-model files confirmed before ordering. Linux builds ship with kernel source, device trees and Yocto / Buildroot layers so software teams own their stack. For projects where additional testing applies, the relevant documentation and testing path can be arranged for any represented model before ordering. Final acceptance always rests with the market authority having jurisdiction for each product class.
RK3588 Industrial Board OEM Process: From Inquiry to Shipment
A typical AndroidSBC OEM project begins with the target market, because OS licensing, temperature range and connector choices decide the board configuration. A standard OEM project then follows 8 steps:
- Tell Us Your Target Market - North America, Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Oceania, Africa or Latin America; different markets may require different certification, OS licensing and connector configurations
- Define the Board and IO - memory, storage, serial ports, CAN, Ethernet, power input, temperature range and form factor are fixed against your enclosure and software
- Lock the Software Stack - Android, Ubuntu, Debian, Yocto or Buildroot, plus autostart, kiosk mode and serial port mapping for your application
- Verify Documentation - for applicable models, request and verify the certificate files, temperature validation and BOM information before ordering
- Sample Evaluation - samples are evaluated on your bench or in the field before mass production, with the same BOM used in the approved units
- Confirm Production - after specifications, commercial terms and OEM details are confirmed, the project proceeds to production
- Quality Inspection - boards are inspected and tested with power-on, interface and 48-hour aging procedures according to applicable production and quality-control standards
- Shipment - products are prepared for shipment FOB, CIF or DDP according to the agreed logistics requirements
Q: Why source a SOM instead of a full board?
A: A SOM keeps the qualified compute, memory and storage fixed while the carrier is customized for your connectors and mounting. That shortens re-qualification when you extend the product line.
Q: Can the SOM run at -40 to 85 Celsius?
A: Yes, wide-temperature RK3588 SOM builds are available and validated on the carrier reference design. Confirm the option before ordering because the BOM and test flow differ.
Q: What support is included for carrier design?
A: AndroidSBC shares the SOM pinout, reference carrier schematic, design guide and a bring-up checklist. A carrier review call is part of the OEM program before you tape out.
Q: Is the eMMC soldered or removable?
A: eMMC is soldered on the SOM for reliability in vibration environments, sized from 32GB to 128GB. Storage can be extended on the carrier through SATA or M.2 NVMe.
Q: How fast are custom carrier samples?
A: Carrier samples are typically ready in 15-25 days after schematic review, and production follows the aging and test flow used for standard boards.
