@3Dream thanks. I've done a temporary build of the EXP1HCL firmware that supports an SPI-connected accelerometer when a magnetic encoder is not connected, with the INT pin of the accelerometer connected to io1.in. I haven't had time to test it yet.
The alternative would be to connect the accelerometer I2C pins IO1 and fit the bypass jumper, but then you would need to solder the INT wire to the PA20 pad on the underside of the PCB. That may be a better option going forwards, if we add the PA20 pin to the IO connector in the next board revision, because it would also be compatible with using a magnetic encoder.
