Board is powered.
SIM7600E-L1C breakout is powered.

Link to board image:

Issue:
PIN TX RX definition cannot be swapped.

Situation 1: TX is 13, RX is 34 = Programs but no GSM connection can be made, no data can be requested from the SIM7600E-L1C.

Situation 2: TX is 34, RX is 13 = Backtrace Error logs.

still same issue with node32s board pick
still cannot switch pin define without backtrace error, changed hardware cpp pin define also doesn't work.
can i also check what is the power pin for the GSM ?
