Android/Linux Single Board Computer

Flexible ARM-Based Embedded Android/Linux SBC

Rocktech's embedded Android/Linux boards(SBC) are mainly based on Rockchip SOC and Allwinner SOC, offering robust, high-performance platforms. Designed to streamline your development process, our Android/Linux SBC support both Android and Linux operating systems, providing versatility for a wide range of applications.

With ARM-based embedded boards, these embedded boards connect to customer devices via serial interfaces (UART/RS232/RS485, etc.), acting as intelligent control terminals. Our Rockchip or Allwinner SBC solution enable easy integration of cloud connectivity, multimedia touch screens, and customized app control, making them ideal for applications in home security, industrial automation, and smart appliances.

We offer both customized and standard embedded Android/Linux SBC to meet your specific needs, including PCBA design, Firmware/driver develop, and structural design, starting from the source code. Our team provides complete SBC ODM/OEM services, including software development and app integration, ensuring smooth, reliable operation of the Android or Linux operating system.

As an official partner of Rockchip and Allwinner, we benefit from strong support, ensuring high-quality, and reliable solutions for your projects. Whether you're developing a smart locker, security monitoring system, or industrial control terminal, Rocktech delivers the industrial embedded board solutions you need for success.

Choose Standard SBC or Custom SBC?

1. Time to Get Embedded Android/Linux SBC prototype

Standard SBC: Samples are usually shipped within 1 to 2 weeks.

Custom SBC: Once the requirements are confirmed accurately, samples can be shipped within 6 to 8 weeks, include hardware prototyping, OS drivers debug and testing.

2. Cost (NRE + Unit) of Embedded Android/Linux SBC

Standard SBC: No hardware NRE, No NRE or low NRE when software customization is present.

Custom SBC: Compared to the overall project, the NRE cost is minimal. Since the hardware is fully customized based on the project's functional requirements, many modules and components are not strictly necessary, So the unit price is often lower when the MOQ reaches a moderate quantity.

3. Embedded Android/Linux SBC Hardware Design

Standard SBC: The application's functions should be tailored to the software and hardware capabilities of the standard SBC, while its housing design should follow the standard SBC's outline, mounting holes positions, component positions, and connector positions.

Custom SBC:You have full creative freedom to design the functionality and appearance of your product. Based on your design, Rocktech will customize the Embedded SBC's performance, functions, outline, component placement, and connector specifications. Our engineering team will design the schematic, layout the PCB and makeing the samples.

4. Software(BSP) Development for Embedded Android/Linux SBC

Rocktech offers full BSP (Board Support Package) development services for both embedded Android boards and embedded Linux boards, particularly for embedded SBC (Single Board Computer) platforms. This includes bootloader (U-Boot) and kernel customization, as well as driver development for various hardware components such as TFT displays, touch panels, audio, and USB. We also support peripheral interfaces like GPIO, I²C, SPI, and UART, which are commonly used in embedded single board computers.

Our BSP development is tailored to match the hardware design and functional requirements of the embedded SBC, ensuring stable performance and smooth system integration.

In addition, we offer customization of the boot screen, automatic startup of the client's application, integration of required libraries, and development of custom APIs to support seamless interaction between your app and the hardware, all based on the specific needs of your embedded solution.

Embedded Android SBC vs Embedded Linux SBC

SoCs
Allwinner A33: Quad-core Cortex™-A7
Rockchip PX30: Quad-core Cortex™-A35
Rockchip RK3566: Quad-core Cortex™-A55
Rockchip RK3576: Quad-Core Cortex™-A72, Quad-core Cortex™-A53

Allwinner R16: Quad-core Cortex™-A7
Rockchip PX30: Quad-core Cortex™-A35
Rockchip RK3566: Quad-core Cortex™-A55
Boot Time
Typically 20~40 seconds due to Android version, system services, UI, and initialization.
Can boot about 10 seconds.
Operating System
Android offers a rich GUI environment out of the box, which is based on the Linux kernel but layered with Android-specific frameworks (HAL, AIDL, System Services, etc.) and Java-based application layers.
Runs a general-purpose Linux OS like Buildroot, Yocto, or Debian, which is more flexible and lightweight. The system can be headless or GUI-based using frameworks like LVGL, Qt or GTK.
Development Environment
Uses Android Studio as develop IDE, download Android SDK from Google and Rocktech will provide API which not include in Android SDK. Development focuses on APK packaging. JNI is required for C/C++ integration.
Relies on GCC, Make, cross-compilation toolchains. Easier integration with low-level C/C++ libraries and device drivers. Rocktech will provide the compilation toolchain.
Target Applications
Smart devices, kiosks, infotainment systems, tablets, handhelds.
Industrial controllers, IoT gateways, edge computing devices, network appliances.
