Stuck getting started on COM.NB-IoT (SIM7020G) with Core2

[torntrousers]

Have a new COM.NB-IoT (SIM7020G) with Core2 but can't get get anything much to work.

Have an external 5v power supply for the COM.NB-IoT and inserted a SIM card and attached to the Core2. POwering on the external power supply starts LEDs flashing in the COM.NB-IoT and the Core2 boots up, so that looks like its all connected together properly.

Flashing the Core2 with the EasyLoader from the COM.NB-IoT doc page and connecting a Serial Monitor shows: M5Stack initializing... AT+CSQ AT+CSQ AT+CSQ AT+CSQ with the AT+CSQ repeating every 10 seconds.

So it looks like there is a problem with the serial connection to the COM.NB-IoT.

Hunting around I found this repo, and in there this example: https://github.com/m5stack/M5-ProductExampleCodes/tree/master/Module/COMX_NB-IoT

That uses #include which doesn't appear to work with the Core2 so changing it to #include and adding #include to fix another compile error, and this doc page https://shop.m5stack.com/products/com-nb-iot-modulesim7020g talks about changing the M5 and Serial2 begin, so I've done that and this is the diff to this repo:

Flashing the Core2 with that and connecting serial monitor shows this and just the repeating AT+CSQ:
