   On many CPU pins, you can select pin function between GPIO and one or
more special functions. Please refert to chapter 9 "I/O PORTS" in the
datasheet. This is what it would help: If you want hardware SPI on the debug
connector, you could switch the ACCEL_SPI pins to GPIO function and enable
SPI function on the DEBUG_SPI pins instead. So no conflicts.
