Suggestion

Add SPI Flash chip to CI Test shiled

Reason

Most deployments will use SPI Flash, not SD Cards. It makes sense to add a SPI Flash chip to the next version of the CI Test shield.

Implementation

Add 16MB SPI Flash chip to board, add CS Line to... not D0/D1.

@chris-styles @andcor02 - based on conversation with Chris. May be too late to implement in 2.0.x design, may wait till next major rev to implement, but should be added in future.

To avoid the flash wearing out, you might also consider using volatile storage, something closer to a RAM chip. Though this may have complications depending on the different test scenarios you have.
