Is the new IoT Base with CAT-M Module (SIM7080G) compatible with M5Stack Core2 ESP32 IoT Development Kit for AWS IoT EduKit?<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />

<p dir="auto">Note: I do not own an <em>IoT BASE CatM</em> so my conclusions might be incorrect.</p>
<p dir="auto">Firstly <em>M5Core2 for AWS (orange)</em> is the same as <em>M5Core2 (white)</em> - well, except for the color. The secure element (ATECC608) is in the <em>M5GO Bottom2 for AWS (dark gray)</em>. From the <a href="https://docs.m5stack.com/en/core/core2_for_aws" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">specs</a>:</p>
<p dir="auto"><em>The M5GO Bottom2 for AWS adds additional features and security for IoT applications. ... the onboard Microchip ATECC608 Trust&amp;GO crypto-authentication chip is pre-provisioned with secure keys to simplify connectivity to AWS and accelerate cryptographic computation. ...</em></p>
<p dir="auto">In other words to physically stack the <em>IoT Base CatM</em> to the <em>M5Core2 for AWS</em> you have to un-stack the <em>M5GO Bottom2 for AWS</em> first and by doing so you don't have the secure element anymore which I believe is required to connect to AWS. So if you plan to use the SIM7080G to connect to AWS (instead of WiFi) I think the story ends here as you can only have either the SIM7080G or the secure element stacked to the <em>M5Core2</em> at one time.</p>
<p dir="auto">If your question however is whether a plain <em>M5Core2 (orange or white)</em> can be used with the <em>IoT Base CatM</em>, then the answer is yes. The only thing you need to observe is that between <em>M5Stack (Fire, Base, Gray)</em> and <em>M5Core2</em> some GPIOs have been changed - so the Arduino example (which is written for <em>M5Stack</em>) needs to be adapted for <em>M5Core2</em>. This <a href="https://www.gwendesign.ch/kb/m5stack/m5core2/#m5core2-bus-and-gpios-compared-to-m5stack" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">list</a> can help you with that.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks<br />
