Using TIM1 for SPI CLK

I need to have 2xSPI synchronized and also synchronized with some timers.

Unusual use of TIM1. (STM32F401VC, discovery board)

I use TIM1 in repeat and one pulse mode to generate 8 CLK for 1 byte of SPI

I have a working 10MHz 8 clock pulses on pin PE9.

I would like to set SPI1 (PB4->MISO and PB3->SCK) in slave mode and output with CLK generated by TIM1

Are there any obsticles I am unaware? Vpp voltage drops from 3,3V to about 2V when I connect PE9 to PB3. :\

Thank you!

More info:

I have a working SPI1 and SPI2 synchronization (one master, second slave, just about 10ns delay), and triggering on timer interrupts. SLEEPONEXIT enable. Disabled SYSTICK timer. But (input) capture interrupts ruin everything. I would like this TIM1 as CLK to work as I can set DMA earlier and then SPI can do its job on time!

Yes, that doesn't sound good. What else is going on there?

Good question! I need to focus focus.

MY BAD I had wrong setting for SPI (master instead of slave). :\

Back to work now :) I think it is doable.
