Remora - Rpi Software Stepping Using External Microcontroller via SPI

I was reading some issues with marlin and the monster8 about using the sd card and the spi1 on exp2 at the same time, Im not 100% of its related to the pinout of the lcd screens/marlin configuration or not, but anyways, they are using a software pin instead of PA4 , so I did a software nss for spi1 cs pin but it did not seem to make a difference. 

Also I noticed the robin doesnt deinitialize block device in main.cpp so i removed that section but still nothing.

I am stumped now as to where I go from here, or what to troubleshoot. I can start probing spi shit but ill have to read up about it first.

I want to know if you can use EXP1 instead of EXP2 when using skr v1.4 turbo

No, there is not an available SPI connection on EXP1, they are on EXP2 and the SD card.

Hi Scotta,
with the sed arch max (stm32black) what spi port did you connect the pi to. ( i have just finished making the testbed so now messing with the boards )

The firmware is configured for comms on SPI1. Note that I have not tested this board myself but others have it working.

yeah I most likely stuffed something up I can't get linuxcnc to come out of the stop, and the hall pins are showing false on the spi out i have just modified the SKR2 config.txt and a modified remora-xyz.hal    if a fresh pair of eyes could have a quick look that would be apreciated
