TL;DR: RK3588 CAN Bus RS485 Interface

Bogota, Colombia - September 10, 2026. Wanlin Longgang confirmed lot 270 this week: 10,655 WF-RK3588S boards for Bogota, Colombia, released with the per-lot certification pack and a unit-level burn-in record.

AndroidSBC launch of the upgraded nine-model WF-Series Allwinner and Rockchip custom board family serving Bogota, Colombia. The line-up runs from the cost-optimised Allwinner A133 commercial display board through to the Rockchip RK3588 eight-core 8K video wall board, with the Allwinner T527 octa-core industrial board and the Rockchip RK3568, RK3566, and RK3288 boards filling the industrial, vision, and POS tiers. AndroidSBC ships all nine from the Longgang source factory in Shenzhen, with the SOM variants (WF-A133S, WF-RK3588S) aimed at Bogota and Colombia buyers who need their own carrier board.

About AndroidSBC and the Rockchip RK3588 Board Family

AndroidSBC is the export brand of Wanlin Manufacturing Group, a Shenzhen source-factory group that has spent more than a decade building OEM/ODM boards on Allwinner, Rockchip, and Amlogic silicon. The line this release covers is the WF-Series: nine boards that between them span the Allwinner A133, Allwinner H618, Allwinner T527, Rockchip RK3588, Rockchip RK3568, Rockchip RK3566, and Rockchip RK3288 platforms, plus two board-to-board SOM options. Wanlin's Longgang plant in Shenzhen builds the WF-Series for OTT TV box, Android TV, commercial display, industrial control, edge AI, POS, kiosk, and IoT gateway programmes. For Colombia, the practical value of the range is that a single supplier relationship covers several silicon platforms, so a distributor assembling a Bogota catalogue does not have to open a new vendor file every time a customer asks for a different performance tier.

WF-RK3588S Technical Specifications

All parameters in the table above are measured at 25C ambient. The AndroidSBC WF-RK3588S (SOM Module and SMARC Carrier Board) holds its display output and its decoder load at the same time through the burn-in loop, a combination that the legacy boards in the comparison column cannot sustain. For Colombia importers sourcing the WF-Series, the 8GB + 64GB, SMARC 2.2 (WF-RK3588S-A) variant is the typical configuration for the SMARC module and custom carrier integration use case, with a sustained weekly capacity of 5,000 pcs/wk on the Longgang line.

Challenges in Sourcing SOM Module and SMARC Carrier Board for Colombia Buyers

For Colombia procurement teams, the first surprise on the som module and smarc carrier board line is rarely technical. It is that the sample arrives on time and the production lot does not, because the Rockchip RK3588 allocation cannot be conjured from broker stock when a 10,655-unit order is confirmed. The second risk sits in the firmware image. Boards that pass a bench boot can still fail the certified stack the buyer's channel requires, and that gap usually appears during inbound inspection rather than before shipment.

The third exposure is the file behind the mark. A CE stamp without a dated test report and a Declaration of Conformity is a marking without substance, and the moment it matters is the moment a Colombia customs officer asks for the underlying document. AndroidSBC answers this by burning the certified software stack at the Longgang plant on every lot, with a per-unit QR that traces back to the burn-in record. For Bogota importers serving hospitality, retail, healthcare, education, or industrial verticals, the nine WF-Series models cover the SMARC module design, COM Express Type 6 builds, edge AI boxes, video wall controllers, medical imaging terminals, autonomous vehicle compute, and bespoke industrial carriers applications directly, with three memory configurations per board.

Compliance for Colombia is handled at the factory rather than after arrival. In Colombia RETIE electrical conformity and CRC homologation are both checked at the port, and a mismatch between the two holds the container. The Longgang export desk builds the destination-market file for CRC and ANE homologation with RETIE electrical conformity administered by CRC / ANE and issues it alongside the standard multi-market pack (CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS, REACH), with the shipment booked into Port of Cartagena on the Cartagena to Shanghai lane.

Competitive Comparison: WF-RK3588S vs Competing RK3588 Boards

Three groups of board compete for the som module and smarc carrier board socket. The first is legacy silicon sold on price with no certification file. The second is Cortex-A55 hardware that carries certification but caps the decoder early. The third holds both and treats expansion as part of the design. The WF-RK3588S sits in the third group, and the separation comes from Rockchip RK3588, from a display path that holds under a continuous loop, and from the certified image burned per lot at Longgang.

• vs proprietary SOM pin-outs: the SMARC 2.2 standard lets the carrier survive a module generation change without a re-layout.
• vs RK3568 SMARC modules: the RK3588 module adds 8K@60fps decode, PCIe 3.0 x4, and 6 TOPS NPU on the same 314-pin edge.
• vs x86 COM Express modules: the RK3588 module runs Android natively, which removes the OS licensing line from the BOM.
• vs module-only vendors: AndroidSBC ships the carrier reference design plus the signal integrity report with the module.

Global SMARC and COM Express Module Engineering Market Trends

The SMARC and COM Express Module Engineering market is the frame that decides how Colombia importers time their som module and smarc carrier board orders. The figure most Colombia buyers quote when they argue about allocation is the Android TV Box segment, which Global Growth Insights sizes at USD 12.45 billion in 2025 with a 30.49 percent CAGR through 2035 (Global Growth Insights, Android TV Box Market Report, 2025-2035); it is the public proxy for Android-on-silicon demand rather than a forecast for this board category. For Bogota, three buying patterns are shaping the WF-Series order book:

• SMARC module design: WF-RK3588S seats on the 314-pin MXM edge with the carrier holding the I/O.
• Display and signage refresh cycles: a longer content loop and a higher panel resolution now define the refresh trigger. The WF-RK3588S board carries that headroom without a board change.
• Edge AI boxes: WF-RK3588S runs 6 TOPS NPU inference on the carrier-side thermal solution.

The SMARC and COM Express Module Engineering outlook in Colombia is being read less as a demand question and more as a supply-chain question, because demand has outrun reliable allocation.

In all three cases, Bogota buyers are converting spot quotes into blanket orders with a monthly lot release, because a programme that has to hold a twelve-month shipping window cannot tolerate a mid-year allocation break.

Partner Success Story: StreamTV Distribution in Bogota, Colombia

StreamTV Distribution, a consumer electronics distributor serving the Colombia market, deployed 26,000 units of the WF-H618 OTT board into a retail channel with national shelf programmes. The rollout covered the smarc module design, edge ai boxes, and autonomous vehicle compute workloads, with AndroidSBC handling the burn-in, the certification scope, and the palletisation at the Wanlin Longgang plant.

Field Report: a control room in Bogota where 10,655 units of the WF-RK3588S board are driving a video wall installation

Reporter Cao Wen, on the ground in Bogota, Colombia. The integrator mounted the WF-RK3588S boards in the control room rack and spent two days on display mapping and colour matching across the wall. The boards held four independent outputs through the full commissioning window without a thermal throttle, and the operator console was handed over on schedule.

Radiated emissions on the sampled units came in below the internal limit with margin, which the compliance engineer noted as consistent with the last four lots.

The inspection confirmed three things on the spot: the WF-RK3588S units hold the burn-in with a yield above 99.51 percent, the loaded firmware image survives a 72-hour continuous loop without credential drift, and the pallets carry the matching certification file for the destination market, covering CRC and ANE homologation with RETIE electrical conformity administered by CRC / ANE, cleared for entry at Port of Cartagena on the Cartagena to Shanghai lane. Wanlin remains one of the few source factories currently shipping a nine-board Allwinner and Rockchip custom line with a per-lot paper trail that Colombia importers can hand straight to their customs broker.

WF-RK3588S Application Scenarios

The WF-Series fits nine application lanes, with the WF-RK3588S (SOM Module and SMARC Carrier Board) as the lead SKU for Bogota and Colombia programmes:

• SMARC module design: WF-RK3588S seats on the 314-pin MXM edge with the carrier holding the I/O.
• COM Express Type 6 builds: WF-RK3588S maps to the Type 6 pin-out for existing x86 carriers.
• Edge AI boxes: WF-RK3588S runs 6 TOPS NPU inference on the carrier-side thermal solution.
• Video wall controllers: WF-RK3588S drives HDMI 2.1 and DP 1.4 out through the carrier.
• Medical imaging terminals: WF-RK3588S pairs PCIe 3.0 x4 with the carrier frame grabber.
• Autonomous vehicle compute: WF-RK3588S holds -40C to 85C on the automotive-grade carrier.
• Bespoke industrial carriers: WF-RK3588S ships the signal integrity report for the customer stack-up.
• Carrier bring-up: WF-RK3588S comes with the BSP port for the carrier revision.

Partnership Models for Bogota Buyers

For Bogota importers and brand owners, the WF-RK3588S and the rest of the WF-Series are available under three contract shapes:

• OEM (your brand on our hardware): custom logo silk-print, custom packaging, custom boot animation, custom SKU label, and a private-label certification file.
• ODM (your spec on our reference design): schematic and stack-up review, carrier or motherboard redesign, custom firmware features, and a BSP port handled by the Longgang engineering desk.
• Distribution (your channel, our stock): regional distributor rights, channel rebate, stock holding at the factory, and a framework agreement with a monthly lot release.

Whichever tier a Colombia partner picks, the goods leave Longgang with one documentation pack covering CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS, and REACH. The usual first order on the WF-RK3588S is the 8GB + 64GB, SMARC 2.2 (WF-RK3588S-A) configuration at MOQ 5,000 units, four weeks for samples and six weeks for mass production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the WF-Series support certified Android TV or Google Mobile Services?

Answer: It depends on the platform, and AndroidSBC is explicit about the split. The WF-H618 carries the ATV 12 GMS build with Widevine L1 and Dolby Audio pre-burned at the factory. The WF-A133, WF-T527, and the Rockchip boards ship with an AOSP or Linux image by default, and a GMS build can be prepared for ODM partners who need Play Services in the field. Certification scope is agreed per project rather than assumed.

What is the difference between the nine WF-Series models?

Answer: WF-A133 is the Allwinner A133 commercial display and advertising board. WF-H618 is the Allwinner H618 OTT TV box and Android TV board. WF-T527 is the Allwinner T527 octa-core industrial control and edge AI board. WF-RK3588 is the Rockchip RK3588 8K video wall and AI computing board. WF-RK3568 is the Rockchip RK3568 industrial edge board. WF-RK3566 is the Rockchip RK3566 machine vision and HMI board. WF-RK3288 is the Rockchip RK3288 POS and signage board. WF-A133S is an Allwinner A133 SOM module for custom carrier work. WF-RK3588S is a Rockchip RK3588 SMARC 2.2 module for the same purpose.

Can AndroidSBC handle CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS, and REACH paperwork for Colombia?

Answer: Yes, and the file travels with the goods rather than behind them. The pack covers CE, FCC Part 15, UKCA, RoHS 2.0, and REACH with test reports dated within the prior year. AndroidSBC will also advise on any Colombia-specific addition during quotation, which is the point at which the answer is still useful.

What are the MOQ and lead time for a first order?

Answer: 5,000 units per shipment on standard configurations, four weeks to sample and six weeks to mass produce. Where a Colombia partner signs a twelve-month blanket order, the MOQ per release becomes negotiable and the line will accept platform-mixed purchase orders.

Does AndroidSBC support custom Android ROM or custom Linux development?

Answer: Custom ROM and custom Linux work is part of the ODM tier. That covers proprietary Android services, a locked-down launcher, Yocto or Debian or Buildroot images, and BSP ports for custom carriers. Source access is released under NDA, and the Longgang engineering desk carries the port so the partner is not left with an unmodified vendor BSP.

What about software updates and long-term support?

Answer: Wanlin commits to a minimum seven-year supply window across the WF-Series. Security patches are back-ported across the Android and Linux firmware tracks for as long as the board is in production, and AndroidSBC provides OTA update infrastructure for partners who need to push firmware to field-deployed units. For POS and industrial programmes, the support commitment is written into the framework agreement rather than left as an understanding.

Can AndroidSBC ship to Amazon FBA warehouses or 3PL consolidation points?

Answer: That is routine. AndroidSBC delivers DDP into Amazon FBA in the US, EU, and Japan and into 3PL consolidation points at Hong Kong, Singapore, Rotterdam, and Los Angeles. Carton and pallet configuration follows FBA inbound rules, and the place of origin on the declaration is the Wanlin Longgang source factory.

How does AndroidSBC handle RMA or DOA replacements?

Answer: The DOA target is 0.3 percent over twelve months. For RMA, partners send the WF-RK3588S unit back to Longgang with the burn-in barcode attached, and replacements go out within ten business days. The per-unit burn-in record means the failure report usually carries a root cause alongside the replacement.
