That's kinda what I heard. There have been a few attempts before to port Smoothieware to other platforms but they seem to fizzle out. Smoothieware is getting pretty big and rapidly changing, making porting a large task. The LPC4330 is a great chip, quite a complex beast though, it might take a while for that to appear with Smoothieware running. I have a LPC4330 dev board to play with, so I might try making an adapter for RAMPS-FD or the Decapede board.
I looked at porting Smoothiware to the Due, but it is a bigger task than I have time for, it would be easier if Mbed was on the Due but that might not happen for a long time, Atmel have put their backing behind the Arduino, which is sort of a competitor to Mbed.
I decided the quickest way to get Smoothie running with RAMPS-FD was to use the same chip as current Smoothie boards, but maybe one day all the things Arthur talks about will actually happen!
