Actually it matters only if this other board is firmly connected with base board. If it is not, then SPI node should be dropped and be handled with DT
overlays.
Got it. Will drop it then.

As I said, DT doesn't care about implementation. DT is HW description, so either if it's fixed connection (soldered wires), then describe in full, otherwise it's considered addon board and thus non-essential, so it should be
handled with DT overlays.
OK

Can be CB1 bought separately from 3D printer package and thus used without
ADXL sensor?
Yes

 Hello,
 Jernej any comments on this ?
 I would like to resolve this conversation :)
We do have a bunch of time before the new cycle but never hurts to get
 it figured out ahead of time :)

Sorry, not enough free time over summer.
No worries :)

Cheers,
Martin

Best regards,
Jernej


 Cheers,
 Martin
