Configurable pins

Why has configurable pins been removed? Ive been away from rusefi for awhile and originally I was able to configure pins for functions like external flash etc (the external flash is the main one I need).
I am not a programer and i don't understand the code used in rusefi, Is there one part of the firmware that is dedicated to pin configuration or is it spread all over the file system, ive had a look and found some references to board pins in the firmware/config then the boards names, but don't fully understand it.
I need to move to external flash and change the CS pin once I have that I can change the hardware adapter board to suit my hardware.

Do you mean external flash, or an SD card specifically?

External flash? We don't support external flash?

Well that will solve that problem. for some reason I remembered having that as a option. My Mistake.
I was hoping to make my current hardware compatible with rusefi, But that won't be possible.

What's the problem with the internal flash we use already for config storage?

The modules I currently use are 512k and is ok for the current firmware as Im using the external flash.
Ive used rusefi on my older hardware, but have now updated the design. I was using the VG chip version on the old hardware I was building, but Im trying to cut down on my work load buy using pre-made MCU boards.
Ill get some of the VG chip versions in and work with that.

Nick I vaguely recall your comment about PE0 and PE1 which was made in passing at some random FB thread I am unable to locate now. That's not an efficient way to report your issues. I would like to suggest reporting all your issues, one by one, in a more explicit way.
I type all this here because I might know what is the problem and I've created a ticket to properly track it at
