Unable to connect to 2.9" 3C e-paper or run it with example code with GxEPD2_290_C90c on nodemcu esp-12f

I trying to run the sample code on esp8266 (nodemcu 12f) with a WeactStudio 2.9 B/W/R epaper display.
Firstly it wouldn't compile without adding #include "GxEPD2_display_selection_new_style.h" Is thins wrong? why is is not included in the example ino in the first place?
I have wired up using the same pins as I successfully used with MH ET BW e-paper and also the same as in the example.
GxEPD2_DISPLAY_CLASS<GxEPD2_DRIVER_CLASS, MAX_HEIGHT(GxEPD2_DRIVER_CLASS)> display(GxEPD2_DRIVER_CLASS(/*CS=D8*/ EPD_CS, /*DC=D3*/ 0, /*RST=D4*/ 2, /*BUSY=D2*/ 4));

All I get is serial monitor:

 ets Jan  8 2013,rst cause:2, boot mode:(7,6)

waiting for host

Is the display broken? Is there anything I can test? Am I doing something wrong

Hey @deltamelter, what is the problem exactly? Did the compilation & upload to the ESP8266 complete successfully? If not, disconnect the display and try uploading again. After the upload is done, you can connect the display again.

I think some pin conflict with the nodemcu I was using.
tried a esp-wroom-02 device with same pinout and is worked fine with the arduino sample
esphome can't work on the wroom-02 some memory conflict when trying to initialise the display driver
esp32 works fine on both arduino sample and esphome

Could you please provide your code and the way you connected display to your pins? I'm not sure which example you're using to be frank.
