VC700-ASL-x7835RE-4G Overview
Plenty of vehicle computers run one job, such as a telematics gateway or a passenger information feed, and do not need much memory to do it well. The VC700-ASL-x7835RE-4G is the build of the DFI VC700-ASL series for that kind of work: the full eight-core Atom x7835RE with 4 GB of LPDDR5, in a rugged embedded PC with GNSS, CAN, M12 Ethernet and ITxPT among its approvals.
The Atom x7835RE (Amston Lake) runs eight cores at 1.3 to 3.6 GHz within 12 W, and the 4 GB of LPDDR5-5200 is soldered down. Lean Linux images, gateway software and single-application Windows builds usually sit well within that. Intel HD graphics drive HDMI 1.4b and DP++ at up to 4096×2160, storage is removable 64 GB or 128 GB eMMC, and TPM 2.0 is built in. DFI out-of-band (OOB) management gives remote power on/off, reset and BIOS update over the network, without an OS agent. The VC700-ASL-x7835RE-4G runs Windows 11 or Ubuntu 22.04.
Both GbE ports (Intel I210) use M12 X-coded connectors, one shared with OOB, beside four USB 3.2 Type-A, HDMI 1.4b and DP++. The rear carries two RS-232/422/485 ports and two CAN 2.0B ports with J1939 on DB9 (CAN FD by request), isolated 8-bit DIO at 2.5 kV, a 10 W speaker amplifier and line-out/mic-in. M.2 slots take optional 4G/5G (with nano SIM), optional Wi-Fi and an NVMe or SATA SSD, beside two mini PCIe slots and Fakra antenna connectors. GNSS comes from an onboard u-blox NEO-M9N, and a 9-axis IMU reports acceleration, rotation and heading.
Power is 9 to 36 V DC on a three-pole terminal block with ignition control. The VC700-ASL-x7835RE-4G runs fanless from -40 °C to 70 °C, is shock and vibration tested to MIL-STD-810G and wall mounts; DFI lists CE, FCC, E-Mark (E24) compliance, ITxPT, RoHS and UKCA. We supply it configured and tested, with storage, the OS image and any wireless module fitted. For more memory, the VC700-ASL-x7835RE-8G doubles it to 8 GB; for a lower-power build, see the VC700-ASL-x7433RE.
