I specified slave specifically because slave is a LOT harder. Master is always easy. Waiting for someone else’s clock and then capturing and replying asap is the hard part. Especially if as a slave you need to simulate a read.

On rp2350 it is pio (wait for clock) -> pio (read address bus) -> dma (addr into lower bits of dma source for next channel) -> dma (Data from SRAM to PIO) -> pio (write data to data bus) chain and it barely keeps up.
