'SPDR' was not declared in this scope

Hello everybody,

I've got problems interpreting (and solving) the error messages I'm getting.
I'm using a Arduino Nano Every connected to this Adafruit display

https://www.adafruit.com/product/3787

I followed the tutorial given on the Adafruit website to connect the display and the graphics demo from Adafruit runs fine.

Then I followed this tutorial to display bmps on the display using a micro SD card:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-1-3-and-1-54-240-x-240-wide-angle-tft-lcd-displays/drawing-bitmaps

I connected everything accordingly. However when I try to compile the suggested "BreakoutST7789-320x240.ino" example (see below), I run into the following error message:

c:\users\lucar\onedrive\documents\arduino\libraries\sdfat_-_adafruit_fork\src\spidriver\sdspidriver.h:393:3: error: 'SPDR' was not declared in this scope

   while (!(SPSR & (1 << SPIF))) {}
            ^~~~
            SPI

... and so on.

Everything I've found so far on this error message, didn't help me resolve it. So this is my last hope to get the program running.
I'm happy for any help I can get on this.

Best regards,
Luca

PS: this is the BreakoutST7789-320x240.ino:

// Adafruit_ImageReader test for Adafruit ST7789 320x240 TFT Breakout for Arduino.
// Demonstrates loading images to the screen, to RAM, and how to query
// image file dimensions.

// parrot.bmp, miniwoof.bmp and wales.bmp.

// (not 'bitbang') and must be wired to specific pins (e.g. for Arduino Uno,
// MOSI = pin 11, MISO = 12, SCK = 13). Other pins are configurable below.

You forgot to post ALL the code causing the problem, but I would guess that you are using the wrong SPI library.

It looks like the "sdfat_-_adafruit_fork" library has its own SPI driver that is assuming an AVR processor. You need an SdFat library that supports the processor of the Nano Every.

Oh okay I wasn't aware of that. I will look more into it. Thank you!
