Can I use SPI in ESP-01 module?

ESP-01 module has only TX,RX,GPIO0 && GPIO2 available. But can we use SPI master to use it as AVR ISP?

Those pins can not access the Hardware SPI.
So, you would have to do it in software using bit-banging the GPIOs.
Speed can also becomes an issue.

With 4 I/Os for SPI, you won't have any I/Os left to control the AVR's reset line.
I'd recommend to either use an UART bootloader on the AVR (the esplink project already supports this configuration afaik) or to use a better ESP module than those crappy ESP-01s.

Well tried esplink and dosen't work cleanly.
An reset using 4 th line. 3 lines for MOSI,MISO,SCK.
