Imagine an Industrial grade mini-computer board similar to a Raspberry Pi (whatever) but rated for operations even inside of a warm engine chamber (possibly with a different, standard fan). The physical dimensions and interface (available pins with functions) would be an ongoing standard (think similar to washer or screw sizes today). The CPU would probably have to be, or be capable of sufficiently emulating (hard realtime accurate) a target profile and speed. There are several likely candidates among existing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V#Implementations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V#Implementations (RISC-V implementations); for micron-controllers Berkeley's BOOM might be a bit much, but is more likely to be useful in MMI ((hu)Man Machine Interfaces) and user-facing systems, while there are at least 4 useful Microcontroller unit designs that look suitable for programmable controller card use. Oddly, though I mention cooling, heating might also be required for devices exposed to harsh winter conditions. It might be suitable for a design to be mounted adjacent to an external heating block. A team of experts in the field (rather than someone who years ago might have had such a future as a possible career path) would be better than I at picking the winner and initial profile targets. However those targets should probably have a wide range, possibly from some embarrassingly low Hz mode for 'sleep' / standby / simple toy use (E.G. the chips are reused in products rather than modules), to a low, moderate, reasonably fast, and high performance mod as possible options for industrial products with different demands. Thinking of potential higher order demands (vector graphics printers, CNC machines of various sorts, etc) the more fully featured Berkeley https://boom-core.org/ https://boom-core.org/ (64 bit, with IEEE fp) design might be a better fit; possibly enough to have two grades, with the higher end BOOM design able to emulate the responses of the initially power / space optimized designs. Though experts in the field might find that irrelevant compared to economies of scale from a single design (and the potential of binning to move partial failures to lower market segments).
