POS Board 6x Serial Ports for Convenience Store Counter, WF-P3601, AndroidSBC, Colombo

TL;DR: POS Board 6x Serial Ports for Convenience Store Counter

AndroidSBC software desk: Android 15 baseline and staged OTA channel published for the WF-P family serving Colombo, Sri Lanka. The WF-P3601 POS Android motherboard spans the all-in-one POS terminal with receipt printer and eleven sister models in the WF-P series, all built on the RK3568 quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 2.0GHz 64-bit SoC with the ARM Mali-G52 2EE GPU, eDP plus HDMI output at 4K@60Hz, and Android 12 firmware support. AndroidSBC, the export arm of Wanlin Manufacturing Group, ships the WF-P family from the Longgang source factory in Shenzhen to Colombo and Sri Lanka importers who run supermarket checkout lanes, convenience counters, restaurant tills, hotel front desks, fuel forecourt cabinets and unattended payment kiosks.

About AndroidSBC and the POS Android Motherboard Family

Wanlin Manufacturing Group runs the Longgang production site where the WF-P POS motherboard family is assembled, burned in and packed. AndroidSBC handles the export side, and the two sit in the same building, which is why Sri Lanka importers get a fixed bill of materials per lot rather than a board that silently changes silicon between shipments. Compliance paperwork is generated per destination: CE, FCC, RoHS and the local route for Sri Lanka, bundled with the lot so the importer clears customs without a second round of test reports.

WF-P3601 Technical Specifications

All parameters in the table above are measured at 25C ambient. The AndroidSBC WF-P3601 (all-in-one POS terminal with receipt printer) 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 Sri Lanka importers sourcing the WF-P family, the WF-P3601-A variant is the typical configuration for the boutique retail all-in-one checkout use case, with a sustained weekly capacity of 5000 pcs/wk.

Challenges in Sourcing POS Android Motherboards for Sri Lanka Buyers

The seventh obstacle is lead time volatility. A Colombo chain planning a store opening cannot absorb a board that moves from a 15-day to a 60-day lead because a memory allocation disappeared.

For Colombo integrators worried about the trading-company risk, AndroidSBC ships from the same building the boards are built in. The source factory address is on the packing list, the test record carries a serial number, and the TRCSL type approval with SLSI import conformity route used in Sri Lanka is issued against that factory, not against a reseller. The Colombo rollout passed its qualification gate on September 23, 2026, and 91400 boards were released into production the same week for the Colombo - Singapore lane, with the sample and the volume lot built from the same component batch.

Competitive Comparison: WF-P3601 vs Competing POS Android Boards

Against the boards Colombo integrators are currently offered, the WF-P family is differentiated on four points that a checkout lane actually feels.

• Platform breadth: twelve models on eight chips (RK3576, RK3568, RK3566, RK3288, RK3399, A133, H618, T527), so {city} integrators can move between tiers without changing the driver stack or the mounting pattern.
• Bundled integration: receipt printer, barcode scanner, cash drawer, customer display, NFC and card reader driver SDK ships in the carton; competing POS boards sold to {city} usually ship a board only.
• Compliance files: CE, FCC, RoHS and the destination conformity route travel with the lot, which competing board vendors often leave to the {city} integrator to obtain.
• Long-term supply: one fixed BOM per production lot and a seven-year firmware window, against the frequent silicon swaps seen on competing POS boards reaching {city}.

Global POS Terminal and Smart Checkout Market Trends

Asia Pacific leads the market by value, North America follows, and the merchant mix in Sri Lanka sits somewhere between the two. For Colombo buyers the practical reading is that the same board family has to serve both a high-throughput supermarket lane and a single-counter boutique.

• Entry counter tier: WF-P3601 covers single-screen checkout and small format stores, where the brief is a reliable 1080p panel, a receipt printer and a cash drawer on one board.
• Dual-screen mainstream tier: WF-P3602 drives the cashier screen and the customer display independently, which is the configuration most restaurant and supermarket rollouts standardise on.
• AI and unattended tier: WF-P3566 carries the NPU, the wide temperature window and the watchdog behaviour that face payment counters and outdoor cabinets require.

AndroidSBC reads the Sri Lanka cycle as a firmware problem as much as a hardware one, which is why the seven-year update window is written into the WF-P family rather than offered as an option.

Partner Success Story: Albion Till Solutions (pub and restaurant POS integrator)

Albion Till Solutions Hardware Programme Manager for United Kingdom Hospitality noted: Albion Till Solutions took the WF-P board because the contactless path handles the UK ceiling without a firmware fork, with 91400 units across the Colombo estate.

Field Report: boutique retail all-in-one checkout refresh

YANTIAN, September 23, 2026 - Cen Rui, AndroidSBC field desk. On the bench at Longgang the WF-P3601 drove the cashier panel, the customer display and the receipt printer simultaneously for the full burn-in window before the Sri Lanka lot was released. The WF-P3601 POS Android motherboard order for Colombo, Sri Lanka cleared the burn-in station on schedule and is en route via the Colombo - Singapore lane.

The WF-P3601 all-in-one POS terminal with receipt printer production lot includes the WF-P3601-A variant as the typical configuration, with receipt printer, barcode scanner and cash drawer driver SDK plus staged OTA management bundled into the source-factory shipment. For Sri Lanka integrators, the TRCSL type approval with SLSI import conformity paperwork is bundled.

Filed by Cen Rui, AndroidSBC field desk, YANTIAN. Sri Lanka integrators typically request CE plus local radio interface notification for POS board deployments.

WF-P3601 Application Scenarios

The WF-P3601 all-in-one POS terminal with receipt printer sits inside a twelve-variant WF-P POS Android motherboard family from AndroidSBC, a Wanlin Manufacturing Group export brand. The WF-P3601-A configuration is the typical build for the boutique retail all-in-one checkout use case, with receipt printer, scanner and cash drawer driver SDK plus staged OTA management bundled.

• Supermarket and hypermarket checkout: the WF-P3601 drives the cashier screen while the second lane carries the customer display or the promotion wall in Colombo.
• Convenience and small format stores: the WF-P3288 fits a narrow counter with a receipt printer, a barcode scanner and a cash drawer on one board.
• Restaurants and quick service: the WF-P3399 runs the order screen plus a kitchen display output, with the customer display showing the order total.
• Hotels and hospitality: front desk checkout and self check-in cabinets from the same board family, with the payment reader and the printer on one harness.
• Unattended retail and vending: the WF-P1330 holds a 7x24 duty cycle in a cabinet with no staff to reset it.
• Fuel forecourts and parking: the WF-P6180 runs the outdoor payment cabinet, where the wide temperature window and the watchdog matter more than raw CPU.
• Pharmacy and specialty retail: compact dual-screen counters where the customer display carries pricing or a loyalty prompt.
• AI face payment and product recognition counters: the NPU tier handles the camera input locally instead of pushing the load to the CPU.
• Retrofit programmes in Colombo: the same board re-uses the existing enclosure, panel and counter harness, so an installed estate can be upgraded lane by lane.

Partnership Models for Colombo Buyers

The commercial structure below is what Colombo partners sign in practice - pick the one that matches how the business already buys.

• Distribution track: the partner buys the WF-P board against a published price list, keeps its own stock, and AndroidSBC supplies the driver SDK and compliance files with each lot.
• Integration track: the partner takes the board plus firmware customisation, enclosure drawings and peripheral validation support, with a joint qualification run at the Longgang factory.
• Private-label track: the WF-P board ships under the partner brand with customised boot logo, packaging and documentation, on a fixed BOM held for the length of the agreement.

Whichever track a Sri Lanka partner starts on, the technical deliverable is identical - the same board, the same driver set and the same compliance pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the WF-P POS Android motherboard family support an all-in-one POS terminal with receipt printer?

Answer: It is. The WF-P family was specified around all-in-one POS terminal with receipt printer, and every board in the family is validated on that use case before it leaves the Longgang factory.

Which silicon tiers are available in the WF-P family for Sri Lanka buyers?

Answer: The WF-P family spans RK3576, RK3568, RK3566, RK3288, RK3399, A133, H618 and T527. For Sri Lanka buyers the choice is driven by counter throughput and by whether the lane needs an NPU.

Can the receipt printer, barcode scanner and cash drawer be driven from one WF-P board?

Answer: Yes - that is the standard counter configuration. The printer runs on RS232 or USB, the scanner on USB, and the drawer fires from the RJ11 header, all validated together before the lot ships.

What is the minimum order quantity and the sample lead time for Sri Lanka?

Answer: One board is enough to start: samples leave Longgang in 1-3 days. Volume orders run 15-30 days, and the Colombo partner can call off against a frame agreement rather than ordering in one block.

Is custom ROM, boot logo or pre-installed app development available?

Answer: Yes. The engineering desk handles custom ROM, boot branding, pre-installed apps, BSP porting and SDK modules, and the Colombo partner keeps the same image across re-orders.

How are firmware updates delivered to a Sri Lanka estate after deployment?

Answer: AndroidSBC ships staged OTA with rollback as a bundled tool, so a Sri Lanka estate of several hundred lanes can be updated in waves rather than all at once.

What shipping terms does AndroidSBC support for Sri Lanka orders?

Answer: FOB Shenzhen, CIF and EXW are quoted on the same price list. Export customs clearance and global shipping are handled from Longgang, and the Colombo partner receives tracking with the lot.

What happens if a board fails in the field in Sri Lanka?

Answer: Each board carries a serial number logged against its burn-in record, so a field failure in Sri Lanka is traced to its production lot, and the replacement ships from the same frozen BOM.
