Hello,
I am planning to design my own board with the RPi CM4 module. The CM4 will communicate with an STM32 MCU via SPI. Additionally, it will interface with a Siemens S7-1200 PLC through Profinet or Ethernet/IP.
Is it possible to use the software installed on the RevPi Gate for my own purposes?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi
officially this is not suported nor is there any sdk for this. But you can have a look at our kernel driver piControl, which implements the module communication: https://gitlab.com/revolutionpi/piControl/

Hi Nicolai,
Thank you for your response!
From our observations, it seems that Kunbus provides a closed Profinet stack that operates as a service on Linux and integrates with the piControl hardware layer.
Could you clarify if the Profinet and Ethernet/IP stacks are delivered in a closed (binary) form and whether a license purchase is required to use them?
Looking forward to your reply!

All stacks are part of the respective extension module, thus each device is licensed. The stacks running on the gateways are not sold separately.
