@stephenbo Just wondering, what kind of 32-bit are you planning to use for the UM2? Most likely the connectors used in the UM2 won't fit. Are you then going to change the connectors?
Nice board. Just verify that it can drive the front LCD and SD card reader if you want to keep this original.
For the LCD you need an I2C connection and for the SD card an SPI connection available. From the comparison chart with v1.1 it looks like those two interfaces are not present on the v1.3 board.

A little late to the party, but i've been looking at getting the Ultimaker 2 working with Marlin 2. It's a great printer, but it's age is starting to catch up to it.
My overall work on this is tracked here:
@CarloK If someone from Ultimaker could resolve this issue, I can begin looking at upstreaming:
https://github.com/Ultimaker/Ultimaker2Marlin/issues/143
The licenses from Ultimaker are a bit unclear. GPL (like the rest of Marlin) was likely the intent, but it wasn't documented anywhere.

Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)
Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.-

Ultimaker Cura 5.6 stable released
ArunC posted a topic in UltiMaker Cura,
Cura now supports Method series printers!
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials-

In theory: yes. In practice: not so much.
Tinker firmware is based on the Ultimaker 2 firmware. The Ultimaker 2 firmware is a "branch" off the Marlin firmware. Lots of changes were made to the Ultimaker 2 firmware, and lots of changes were made to Marlin. It would be a LOT of work to combine the changes that were made to Marlin for the Ultimaker 2 firmware back into the "mainline" Marlin 2 firmware, and the chances of introducing new bugs are substantial.
If you don't mind not using UltiGcode (ie: specifying material in the slicer instead of on the printer), you could make a version of Marlin 2.0 that controls your Ultimaker printer. Getting the display to work may be tricky.
