TL;DR: RK3568 Linux Cashier Motherboard
AndroidSBC release: nine-model WF-C smart checkout counter motherboard family enters volume production serving San Jose, United States. The WF-C3600 smart checkout counter Android motherboard spans the dual-screen smart checkout counter terminal and eight sister models (WF-C3600 through WF-A1313), all built on the RK3568 quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 2.0GHz 64-bit SoC with the Mali-G52 2EE GPU and 1 TOPS NPU, dual LVDS plus HDMI 2.0 4K@60fps, and Android 13 firmware support. AndroidSBC, the export arm of Wanlin Manufacturing Group, ships the WF-C family from the Longgang source factory in Shenzhen to San Jose and United States importers who run smart checkout counter, POS terminal, kiosk, dual-screen cashier, smart retail, and unmanned-store programs.

About AndroidSBC and the Smart Checkout Counter Android Motherboard Family
The AndroidSBC WF-C family is a Wanlin Manufacturing Group OEM and ODM platform built around two silicon tiers: Rockchip RK3568 for premium smart checkout counters, dual-screen POS and industrial kiosks, Allwinner A133 for entry-level cashier desks, F and B ordering counters and locker terminals. Every WF-C board ships from the Wanlin Longgang factory with Android 10 to Android 14 firmware, payment peripheral drivers and CE / FCC / UKCA / RoHS files ready for United States importers. For United States specifically, the WF-C family compresses the supermarket checkout lane, F and B ordering counter and unmanned-store segments into one source factory covering both the Rockchip RK3568 8nm premium tier and the Allwinner A133 22nm entry tier.
WF-C3600 Technical Specifications
| Parameter | AndroidSBC WF-C3600 (dual-screen smart checkout counter terminal) | Industry Average |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | RK3568 quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 2.0GHz 64-bit SoC | Older 28nm or 40nm quad-core SoC |
| Process node | 8nm low-power | Older 28nm or 40nm process |
| GPU | ARM Mali-G52 2EE | Older Mali-450 or basic GPU |
| NPU / AI | 1 TOPS INT8 NPU | No NPU on competing entry boards |
| Memory | 4GB LPDDR4 | DDR3 1GB / 2GB on competing boards |
| Storage | 32GB eMMC | eMMC 5.0 8GB / 16GB on competing boards |
| Display output | dual LVDS plus HDMI 2.0 4K@60fps | Single HDMI 1080p only on competing boards |
| Touch support | 10-point capacitive touch | Resistive single-touch on competing boards |
| Operating system | Android 13 | Android 8 or Android 9 on competing boards |
| Connectivity | WiFi 6 802.11ax plus Bluetooth 5.0 plus dual Gigabit Ethernet | WiFi 4 plus 10/100M Ethernet on competing boards |
| Payment peripherals | QR code scanner, NFC, barcode scanner, thermal printer, cash drawer | No bundled payment-peripheral driver SDK on competing boards |
| Operating temperature | -10C to 60C | 0C to 40C on competing boards |
All parameters in the table above are measured at 25C ambient. The AndroidSBC WF-C3600 (dual-screen smart checkout counter terminal) maintains its 4K HDMI output plus capacitive touch sampling while running the burn-in test loop, a configuration that competing single-platform boards cannot sustain at 60fps. For United States importers sourcing the WF-C family, the WF-C3600-A variant is the typical configuration for the dual-screen smart checkout counter terminal use case, with a sustained weekly capacity of 5000 pcs/wk.
Challenges in Sourcing Smart Checkout Counter Android Motherboards for United States Buyers
Procurement teams in United States typically ask three questions when they audit a Chinese checkout counter board factory: can the factory lock the Rockchip RK3568 or Allwinner A133 silicon, can it bundle peripheral drivers, and can it deliver CE / FCC / RoHS files for United States customs. AndroidSBC, a Wanlin Manufacturing Group export brand, answers all three with the WF-C family.
FCC / UL conformity, FCC Part 15 and FCC ID for radio modules, plus UL or ETL safety listing and Port of Los Angeles routing together form the standard United States compliance path for checkout counter boards with WiFi 6 or Bluetooth 5.0 modules. The WF-C family from AndroidSBC bundles the paperwork into the Shenzhen source-factory shipment. A 1800-unit WF-C smart checkout counter Android motherboard order for San Jose, United States finished burn-in and the 2nd lot was released from the Wanlin Longgang SMT line on September 15, 2026.
Competitive Comparison: WF-C3600 vs Competing Smart Checkout Counter Android Boards
Procurement teams comparing Chinese checkout counter Android boards weigh four things: silicon tier, peripheral driver support, OTA content management and CE / FCC files. The WF-C family from AndroidSBC answers all four:
- vs single-platform 28nm boards: the WF-C family covers both the Rockchip RK3568 8nm premium tier and the Allwinner A133 22nm entry tier out of one Shenzhen source factory.
- vs Cortex-A7 32-bit boards: the WF-C family is quad-core 64-bit throughout, with the RK3568 Cortex-A55 2.0GHz and the A133 Cortex-A53 1.6GHz both on ARMv8.
- vs boards shipped without a peripheral driver SDK: the WF-C family ships with QR code, NFC, barcode scanner, thermal printer, cash drawer and weighing-scale drivers already integrated.
- vs boards without remote fleet tools: the WF-C family ships with OTA content management, remote firmware update and kiosk-mode lockdown out of the box.
