Ask Slashdot: What's the Best All-Purpose RISC-V System on a Chip Family?

Slashdot reader SysEngineer does embedded/IoT work, but "I want to pick a single system-on-a-chip architecture family and commit to it across multiple product lines - sensor nodes up through edge gateways... I've been on one platform for years and want to know what embedded engineers are actually running in production before I commit!" And "the family needs to scale - cheap and small at the low end, capable of running Linux on the bigger variants!" Their requirements?WiFi + BLE requiredLoRaWAN a nice-to-have.Low power modes that actually work in the field, not just on the datasheet.Full peripheral set - SPI, I2C, UART, ADC, timers, CAN.A toolchain and runtime support, support multi threads...Slashdot reader Gravis Zero is skeptical all the requirements can be met. "If you want embedded, you get embedded. If you want to run a big OS, you get one that will run a big OS." But Slashdot reader SysEngineer believes "The obvious architecture candidates are ARM, STM, and RISC-V" - and specifically they want to hear your experiences with the RISC-V choices. "What would you standardize on today if you were starting fresh? And how does real-world toolchain and community support hold up compared to the marketing?" Share your own thoughts and experiences in the comments. What's the best all-purpose RISC-V system on a chip family?
