RK3588 Dual Gigabit Ethernet Custom Board, WF-C3588-M2, AndroidSBC, Vilnius
TL;DR: RK3588 Dual Gigabit Ethernet Custom Board
SHENZHEN, China, September 12, 2026 - Wanlin Manufacturing Group pushed lot 273 of the WF-C3588-M2 board out of the Longgang plant this week, 14,280 units for Vilnius, Lithuania, with the export declaration naming Longgang as the place of origin.
AndroidSBC unveils the nine-variant custom RK3588 motherboard line spanning custom Android boards, industrial boards, core boards and SOMs, signage, kiosk, robotics, NVR, edge AI and ARM PC work serving Vilnius, Lithuania. AndroidSBC is opening the full WF-C3588 custom motherboard programme to Lithuania: nine variants on the Rockchip RK3588 platform with 6 TOPS NPU, 8K H.265 decode, dual Gigabit Ethernet and up to 32GB of LPDDR5. Every variant ships from the Wanlin Longgang facility with OEM branding available, ODM carrier design handled in-house, and per-lot CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS and IEC 62368-1 documentation.

About AndroidSBC and the Rockchip RK3588 Board Family
Wanlin Manufacturing Group has been building custom Android and Linux boards in Shenzhen since 2013, and AndroidSBC is the group's export-facing brand. The WF-C3588 is the current custom motherboard programme: nine variants on the same Rockchip RK3588 octa-core 8nm silicon with 6 TOPS NPU, 8K H.265 decode, dual Gigabit Ethernet and up to 32GB of LPDDR5. Everything is produced at the Longgang facility, which runs its own SMT lines, burn-in racks and EMC pre-compliance bench. Vilnius and Lithuania buyers typically come to the WF-C3588 for one of three reasons: nine custom categories on one silicon, a source factory that takes OEM and ODM work seriously, or a supplier that carries the certification paperwork instead of leaving it to the importer.

All parameters in the table above are measured at 25C ambient. The AndroidSBC WF-C3588-M2 (Custom Core Board SOM with Carrier Board Design Service) 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 Lithuania importers sourcing the WF-Series, the 16GB + 64GB (WF-C3588-M2-C) variant is the typical configuration for the custom core board and SOM plus carrier programmes use case, with a sustained weekly capacity of 5,000 pcs/wk on the Longgang line.
Challenges in Sourcing Custom Core Board SOM with Carrier Board Design Service for Lithuania Buyers
The first thing Lithuania procurement teams learn about the custom core board som with carrier board design service category is that quotation speed and delivery reliability are inversely related. The Rockchip RK3588 needs a wafer slot that a broker cannot create, so the fastest quotes are often the ones attached to the least secure allocation. Then there is the software build. A board that boots is not the same as a board that carries the certified stack a Lithuania retailer will accept, and the gap is normally found during inbound QC rather than at the factory gate.
Then there is the certification file. A stamp is cheap; a Technical File with notified-body reports dated inside twelve months is not, and the difference only matters when a Lithuania customs officer asks for it. AndroidSBC closes the loop at the source factory: custom configuration assembled, certified image burned, burn-in barcode attached per unit, Technical File issued with the lot. The nine WF-C3588 variants cover SMARC 2.2 modules, stamp-hole core boards, LGA core boards, COM Express carriers, medical imaging terminals, robotics compute modules, custom carrier designs, and OEM development kits and each ships in three memory configurations, so most Vilnius requirements can be met from standard stock rather than a from-scratch run.
For Lithuania specifically, the file travels with the goods. In Lithuania the industrial channel is small and buyers tend to source through Polish or German distributors rather than directly. AndroidSBC prepares the CE marking with RRT radio interface notification documentation for RRT, attaches the standard multi-market pack (CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS, REACH), and consigns the lot to Port of Klaipeda on the Klaipeda to Ningbo relay.
Competitive Comparison: WF-C3588-M2 vs Competing RK3588 Boards
The boards competing for the same socket in the custom core board som with carrier board design service segment fall into three groups: off-the-shelf catalogue boards with no customization path, re-badged imports where the seller controls neither PCB nor firmware, and source-factory custom platforms with an engineering desk behind them. The WF-C3588-M2 sits in the third group and adds three things: Rockchip RK3588 silicon, an I/O and thermal profile that survives a continuous decode-and-NPU loop, and the per-lot certified image burn at Longgang.
- vs standard SOM catalogues: the WF-C3588-M2 either matches SMARC 2.2 exactly or the carrier is redesigned around the project, so the module never forces the product.
- vs two-vendor module plus carrier splits: core board and carrier come from one desk, one schematic review and one test plan, which removes the finger-pointing stage entirely.
- vs closed-module vendors: BSP source, SDK and documentation ship with the project, so a customer engineering team can maintain the carrier after delivery.
- vs re-branded modules: the SI report and the thermal map are Longgang documents, not forwarded PDFs from a third party.
Global Custom SOM and Core Board Market Trends
Buyers in Vilnius are reading the Custom SOM and Core Board curve before they commit to a custom core board som with carrier board design service programme. MarketsandMarkets reports the Edge AI hardware segment at USD 26.9 billion in 2025 with a 32.7 percent CAGR to USD 108.2 billion by 2030 (MarketsandMarkets, 2025-2030), used here as the RK3588-class silicon baseline rather than as a number for this category. That baseline breaks into three practical demand patterns for the WF-C3588 in Lithuania:
- Medical imaging terminal: a device maker keeps its regulatory file intact by swapping the core board and reusing the validated carrier.
- Display and signage refresh cycles: a longer content loop and a higher panel resolution now define the refresh trigger. The WF-C3588-M2 board carries that headroom without a board change.
- Custom SMARC migration: a legacy SMARC installation moves to RK3588 with a pin-compatible carrier revision and keeps the enclosure.
The Custom SOM and Core Board commentary has shifted from unit growth to supply reliability, and that shift favours suppliers who control their own SMT and burn-in lines.
The common thread in Lithuania is that single orders are being replaced by blanket agreements with a monthly release, because a custom board programme that has to survive a twelve-month window cannot absorb an allocation gap in the middle of it.

- Piotr Nowak, Engineering Manager
Field Report: the AndroidSBC booth at an international broadcast and display trade show, where the WF-C3588-M2 board ran a live demonstration for 14,280 shipped demonstration units
Reporter Lu Kang, on the ground in Vilnius, Lithuania. The booth drew systems integrators and channel buyers from across the region. The WF-C3588-M2 demo ran on a reference panel looping a 4K HDR bitstream while a second panel carried a scaled reference loop to show the decoder headroom underneath. Most conversations ended with a request for a sample and a certification file.
The engineering desk ran a firmware re-flash drill on three units to confirm the recovery path a field technician would use.
The inspection confirmed three things on the spot: the WF-C3588-M2 units hold the burn-in with a yield above 99.27 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 CE marking with RRT radio interface notification administered by RRT, cleared for entry at Port of Klaipeda on the Klaipeda to Ningbo relay. Wanlin remains one of the few source factories currently shipping a nine-variant custom RK3588 motherboard line with a per-lot paper trail that Lithuania importers can hand straight to their customs broker.

WF-C3588-M2 Application Scenarios
The WF-C3588 line fits nine custom motherboard lanes, with the WF-C3588-M2 (Custom Core Board SOM with Carrier Board Design Service) as the lead SKU for Vilnius and Lithuania programmes:
- Medical imaging terminal: a device maker keeps its regulatory file intact by swapping the core board and reusing the validated carrier.
- Robotics compute module: an AMR maker takes the stamp-hole core board and designs a slim carrier for a new chassis generation.
- Custom SMARC migration: a legacy SMARC installation moves to RK3588 with a pin-compatible carrier revision and keeps the enclosure.
- OEM development kit: a product team gets the reference carrier, the SDK and the BSP source and prototypes before committing to tooling.
- LGA core board programme: a display brand solders the core board directly onto its own mainboard for a locked BOM.
- Machine vision carrier: a vision integrator routes MIPI CSI-2 lanes to four cameras and lets the NPU carry the inspection model.
- Fleet compute module: a telematics supplier builds one carrier for three vehicle programmes and swaps memory options per contract.
- Lab instrumentation: an instrument maker keeps a decade-old enclosure alive by replacing only the core board and the BSP.
Partnership Models for Vilnius Buyers
The WF-C3588 custom line is available to Lithuania partners through three routes, and they can be mixed inside one agreement:
- 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.
All three tiers ship from Longgang under one documentation pack covering CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS and IEC 62368-1. A Vilnius first order on the WF-C3588-M2 is normally the 16GB + 64GB (WF-C3588-M2-C) configuration at MOQ 5,000 units per shipment, standard samples in 1-3 days and 15-30 days to production.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly can be customised on an RK3588 motherboard from AndroidSBC?
Answer: Everything from the copper up. Custom PCB and PCBA, custom I/O routing, custom memory and storage configuration, custom display and camera interfaces, custom thermal profile from commercial to -40C to 85C industrial, and custom branding including silk-printed logo, packaging, SKU label and boot animation. The firmware side covers custom Android (GMS or AOSP), Ubuntu, Debian, Yocto and OpenHarmony builds with BSP ports handled by the Longgang engineering desk rather than handed to the buyer as an unmodified vendor drop.
Can AndroidSBC port a custom Android ROM or a custom Linux BSP to our carrier board?
Answer: Yes, and that work stays in-house. The ODM tier covers custom Android ROM builds with proprietary services and launchers, AOSP builds without Google services, and Linux images on Ubuntu, Debian, Yocto or Buildroot. BSP ports for custom carrier boards are executed by the Longgang engineering desk, with SDK and BSP source released to the partner under NDA. The same desk handles driver development for the I/O you added, which is the part that usually stalls when a factory forwards a vendor drop and walks away.
Can the 6 TOPS NPU on a custom board run our own AI models?
Answer: Yes. Custom NPU development covers RKNN model deployment, quantization from the major frameworks, multi-model pipelines on the triple-core NPU, and custom AI algorithm integration. The desk validates throughput on your exact memory configuration, and the deployment lands as a versioned RKNN file that OTA can update in the field, which is how Lithuania partners iterate models without replacing hardware.
What are the MOQ and lead times for a custom RK3588 motherboard?
Answer: Samples of standard variants leave the factory in 1-3 days. Custom builds run 15-30 days to mass production once the design is signed off, with the schematic review and carrier design handled in the same window. MOQ sits at 5,000 units per shipment on standard configurations, custom runs are quoted against volume, and small pilot batches are accepted for first-article programmes.
What certifications does a custom board need for Lithuania, and who handles them?
Answer: Certification is part of the customization scope, not an afterthought. The in-house file covers CE, FCC Part 15, UKCA, RoHS 2.0, REACH and IEC 62368-1 with test reports dated inside twelve months, plus GMS and EDLA tracks for custom Android and display products. The file is built for the exact configuration you ship, which matters for a custom board because a test report on a different memory fit is not a valid report at all.
How long will AndroidSBC keep supplying a custom board?
Answer: Seven years minimum, written into the framework agreement. The RK3588 platform carries a long industrial lifecycle, and Wanlin commits to the supply window, to security patches across the Android, Ubuntu LTS, Debian LTS and Yocto tracks, and to OTA update infrastructure for field-deployed units. For a custom board that is the whole point of going to a source factory: the product lifecycle is a contract term, not a hope.
Can AndroidSBC ship custom boards 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, Los Angeles and Shenzhen. 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 on custom boards?
Answer: The DOA target is 0.3 percent over twelve months. For RMA, partners send the WF-C3588-M2 unit back to Longgang with the burn-in barcode attached, and replacements go out within ten business days. The per-unit record means the failure report usually carries a root cause alongside the replacement, which is what a Lithuania integrator running a custom configuration actually needs.
