Marlin 2.x Support for the GTM32 mini and pro boards

[Mr-xRed]

It would be great if these two open source boards could support Marlin 2.x 32bit version.
I have no idea of coding. But this would be awesome if Geeetech or users who can code would make Marlin 2.x to be compatible with the GTM32 boards. So much possibilities and features would open up for the users and also for Marlin.
I’ve seen this issue posted on the Smartto firmware repository which in my opinion would belong here, it is not a firmware issue/feature but more like a hardware issue.

I totally agree with you. If we can install Marlin in our boards I’m sure that the community and contribution will grow up a lot. Please take this on count, I think it’s the best improvement.

@redangel1984 @monrra We are rewritting smartto-eclipse(reconstruct, complete command, fix bug etc.) It may take one or two months and then we will start discussion on marlin 2.x. We still not sure how many people would like to use marlin in these boards. Is it worth to do that? The issue need more research and supporter.

Hi @alexwoo1900. I dont know if @redangel1984 thinks like me, but I really think that almost everyone prefer Marlin for being an open source reliable firmware since a lot of time ago. In fact, you just need to look for other printers with Marlin, people are very happy with it.

@alexwoo1900
I am sure If you make Marin available for this printer and board more people will use it on Marlin than on Smartto.
And I am sure too that it you won’t make Smartto stable and improve it, you will loose current and future customers. Because as for now to use Smartto is a pain in the @$$.

Totally agree with @redangel1984.

At this point, I believe we'd be better served with the Marlin Firmware. My A30 is currently bricked till I get chance to downgrade the firmware etc

We need this project. Marlin Firwmare is more extended in the 3d print comunity. More functions, open code, etc... @alexwoo1900

It would be great to have Marlin Firmware for A30 @alexwoo1900

Hi, guys.
We have seen your posts and votes and made a long discussion about how to deal with Marlin and Smartto a few hours ago.
That's our plan:
First and foremost, we will repush newest firmware which fixed all fatal errors in a short time.
Secondly, we will continue our development on Smartto. At the same time, we will contact with marlin team and talk about how to make Marlin support GTM32 boards.
I will share our progress about Marlin supporting in this post or facebook group.
If you already have done something about it, please let us know.
