For the Nextion screens, you could use NextionDriver (https://github.com/on7lds/NextionDriver). This will start before MMDVMHost and already show some data. There are a lot of screen definitions out there (https://www.facebook.com/groups/Nextion and others) which will show ip address, frequency, location, ...

Assuming you are connecting the Nextion screen directly to the computer (via TTL serial or USB serial port) rather than connecting via the MMDVM board, then the advice from @on7lds is valid. If you are connecting the Nextion to the modem board, you'll have to wait until MMDVMHost is running to get data to the screen.
