Without SPI, Ethernut 5 wouldn't be able to access its Dataflash and
even SD-Card access may be based on the SPI driver. So, in general I'm
quite sure, that is works.

Are you sure you are on the right bus, Ethernut 5 has 2 of them.

Although a bit old, it is still the way to go. For Ethernut 5 and EIR use

NutRegisterSpiDevice(&devSpiBlkAt45d0, &spiBus0At91, 0);

for the first SPI0 or

NutRegisterSpiDevice(&devSpiBlkAt45d0, &spiBus1At91, 0);

for the second SPI1. Only the latter is available at the expansion port.

Btw. the app/ediconf sample will print some useful information about
your SPI configuration. It's done for SPI0, but can be modified for SPI1
in order to see, what's actually configured.

I'm a bit short in time right now. If the above doesn't help, I can
create a simple example tomorrow.

Regards,

Harald
