Product Introduction: AndroidSBC RK3588 Robot CAN Bus Control 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Warehouse AMR fleet | RK-RB | Each robot runs SLAM on the CPU and NPU, talks to the motor controller over CAN, and reports to the fleet server over WiFi 6 |
| Inspection robot | RK-RB | Onboard cameras feed the 6 TOPS NPU for obstacle detection while CAN FD carries drive commands |
| Delivery robot | RK-RB | One board handles navigation, UI and the lock controller, cutting a separate mini PC out of the BOM |
| Outdoor AGV | RK-RB | A wide-temperature build keeps the controller alive in unheated yards through the winter |
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
Most AndroidSBC projects follow the same path: define the IO, lock the silicon and OS, approve samples with documents, then move to aged and tested production. 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: Can the RK-RB run SLAM and drive the motors at the same time?
A: Yes. The CPU and NPU handle SLAM and vision, while the motor controller takes drive commands over CAN. Keeping those tasks separate on the same board is the design intent.
Q: Which CAN versions are supported?
A: Standard builds ship with CAN 2.0B, and CAN FD builds are available for robots that move larger telemetry frames between controllers.
Q: Does the board work with ROS and ROS 2?
A: Yes, the Ubuntu image includes ROS support and the BSP exposes lidar UARTs, CAN and camera interfaces as standard Linux nodes, which is what ROS 2 expects.
Q: How do you protect against motor noise?
A: The carrier uses isolated CAN and filtered power inputs, and the wide-voltage option absorbs the dips that motor stalls create on the robot bus.
Q: What storage do fleets normally use?
A: Most builds use 64GB or 128GB eMMC for the OS plus an M.2 NVMe for map tiles and log data, so a shift of driving data does not fill the system disk.
