STM32 Dual core support?

[dookei]

Hi @MaJerle , I would like to port a project to vcode from a STM32H745 (dual core M7 and M4). I am kinda of vscode fan I have been looking now for some time, I read that it should be possible to debug both cores with the https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=marus25.cortex-debug extension. But so far no example on-line. Do you believe with you method would be possible to make it work for a dual core system? Did you came further with the python script for dual cores ? My Project works fine under STM32CubeIDE for both cores (can flash and debug without much hassle).

I did not work for dual-core as script is meant for simple porting.

Dual core project has to be compiled twice, once for each core. You can do it with single or dual cmakelists.txt file. I have never tested the dual-core tho.

I took a look in the debug widget for dual-core. It says that every core has its own instance of debug interface. If you use ST-Link and STLINK-Server for debugging, then make sure you use the shared option. To allow multiple processes connecting to same instance of ST-Link for both cores.

I cannot verify if it works well but that's an option to consider.
