Hello Nikolas,

the initialisation seem fishy. In 2020, is good habit to use modern C
struct initialization like:

NUTSPINODE spi_node = {
    .node_bus  =  &DEF_SPIBUS,
    .node_stat = NULL,
    .node_rate = 1000000,
    .node_mode = SPI_MODE_0,
    .node_bits = 8,
    .node_cs = 0,
    .node_dcb = NULL,
};

.node_bits seems not good in your code. Most SPI IP transfers in units
of 8 bits. But even if the IP can do more, Ethernut device driver must
support it and I am not sure about Atmel. I use Stm32.

Otherwise, I am still missing exact error output from the problem you
had last week. We help you, you help us...

Bye
