Evaluating Custom RISC-V Industrial Controllers
What I learned after prototyping a RISC-V based industrial controller, from determinism testing to long-term maintainability.

Learn how to map and manage Modbus coils and discrete inputs, including debouncing strategies and diagnostics.
Turn a Raspberry Pi into a hardened IIoT gateway that securely bridges PLCs, sensors, and cloud analytics.
A look at Modbus origins, why it’s still everywhere, and how to modernize deployments without replacing legacy equipment.
Practical use cases where Raspberry Pi complements PLCs, along with design considerations for reliability and safety.
My checklist for delivering PLC code that is safe, maintainable, and ready for integration with modern IIoT systems.
