@hackaday3D Can I suggest that you port Marlin firmware to run the new STM32MP1 MPU series?

I am only an end-user / technology enthusiast myself and I do not actually know if anyone else is already working on a 3D-printer controller board based on the new STM32MP1 MPU series or not, however, I read that STMicroelectronics claims STM32MP1 architecture enables developers to use the same software as STM32 MCU series, and theoretically, with the STM32MP1 MPU series you could run both Marlin and OctoPrint or similar Linux distrobution on the same board.

First read about this MCU/MPU in the release news about PanGu board from I2Som
