spi slave is still in developing, but we will release it soon.

so, fingers crossed that soon really does mean soon. In the meantime, if anyone can point us in the right direction it would be very much appreciated!
Cheers,

In short - it's possible and you can use it without clashing with the SD port for the flash, but the SDK isn't ready yet.

- Tue Dec 16, 2014 12:59 pm #4960 This is very good news.

At pages 20,21,22 in ESP8266_Module Application Design Guide(EN).pdf i see that the "HSPI" pins 9,10,12,13 are for the flash and the "SPI" pins 19-22 connect to our MCU.

But the Espressif_Kelly guy or gal recommends to use HSPI, then we would have a conflict, wouldn't we? Where does the flash IC fit into the design then?
What benefit does the HSPI-Slave SDK, that can be obtained by emailing to them, have then? Maybe it's better to wait for the real deal SPI-Mode SDK that is still in development?
