Hi,
According to the schematics, Handshake pin is GPIO 10 and Chip Select is GPIO 9.
I managed to talk to the ESP32-SOLO1 module via SPI1, by enabling CSMODE=CS_AUTO and CSID=2 to get the chip-select pin automatically toggled high / low.
See this post: SPI Hifive 1 Rev B

Feel free to use, I hope you find this useful!
