If theese are fixed stations I'd use CAN-bus for a mcu solution and
ethernet for a embedded linux solution.
If there is vibration involved or if the stations are semimovable I'd
use CAN-bux and rubber cables or similar.

No, they use different classes of cpus. An os like linux needs a mmu and
different priviledge modes on the cpu, you don't have that on a cpu you
are doing barebone programming on.
