Hello,

I wanted to know if it was possible to port marlin 2.0 on the a20. So , i can use the GPIOs for controlling a cnc machine.

If anyone has any idea, let me know.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thankyou for your time

It is a good idea to also ask the marlin team.

From what I saw, it seems like marlin doesn't work with Allwinner chips. However, it seems to work with other Olimex-manufactured boards with AVR and STM chips and ESP32 chips and so on.

I suppose it could be ported if you rewrite all the low level code (allow some weeks or months).

Or port it to Linux & use its GPIO APIs (much less effort?).
