Porting libraries: Pin/SPI assignments

[Spitko]

This is likely a daft question, but the website seems to be broken right now so off we go to the forums.

I'm trying to port the USB Host library ( https://github.com/arduino-libraries/USBHost ). It uses the fairly typical avrpins.h, and further has a bunch of SPI glue in usbhost.h

Is there a guide somewhere on porting arduino libraries? At a high level it's looking for arduino pin names like pd5, which don't appear to have an obvious analog (that I saw anyway). The SPI code also seems to expect explicit pin assignments but the spi examples seem to derive their pinouts from a single wing constant

Specific snippits, for those uninterested in digging through github sources:

SPI setup

// ...
#elif  defined(__AVR_ATmega168__) || defined(__AVR_ATmega328P__) 
typedef SPi< Pb5, Pb3, Pb4, Pb2 > spi;
#endif

avrpins.h

//...
#elif defined(__AVR_ATmega32U4__)
// Arduino Leonardo pin numbers

#define P0  Pd2 // D0 - PD2
#define P1  Pd3 // D1 - PD3
#define P2  Pd1 // D2 - PD1
/...

Hello,

There is no official guide to doing something like this but I can help you through the process. But there are several different ways this can be done and we will need to narrow in to a specific method before determining the correct pin numbers for what you want to do. So can you provide more information about how you want to do this? Are you using a Papilio DUO or a Papilio Pro. Do you want to use the AVR chip of the DUO or do you want to use the ZPUino soft processor?

Thanks,
Jack.
