    Could you edit your question to link to the shield and explain how you are planning to use the shield (in broad terms) as I don't understand what it is used for? Will the (presumably) 5V shield work with the 3V3 Pi GPIO? Commented Apr 19, 2017 at 15:01

    What do you mean by what ports to use? MAX3421E seems to have a single USB port and a single SPI interface. Commented Apr 19, 2017 at 15:16
  • how does it know which spi port to run over? Commented Apr 19, 2017 at 15:18

From pinout.xyz:

SPI0 pins in BCM mode are: 9, 10, 11 + 7/8

SPI0 pins in WiringPi are: 12, 13, 14 + 10/11
