Hello,
As mentioned in the title, I'd like to create a new multi-core project for imxrt1176 microcontroller.
I already one working in the MCUXpresso IDE, but I'm transitioning to VS Code as an experiment.
I managed to successfully import an older multicore MCUXpresso IDE created projects, but both of them had some missing pieces in the configuration.
Just like on the picture below (there were 2 instances, each for every project: MASTER and SLAVE)

Both MCU and Repository options above were not detected. I do not know if that makes any difference or whether it's needed for further development, but it got me a little bit worried .
I also wanted to check if I can as easily recreate multicore project from scratch as I did for Eclipse based MCUXpresso IDE.
When I opened project Wizard I could see the following page:

1. Is it possible to create project based not on EVK BOARD but on the microcontroller instead?
i.e. I'd like the new project to be dedicated for a microcontroller like I did in the "old" way in IDE
- It's a bit outdated SDK example
The reason I want to do it this way is to avoid any "bloat" modules/files, etc. that is not relevant for my microcontroller, since I have my own custom board. It has nothing to do with evaluation kit. Unless I have some wrong understanding about that SDK EVK/EVKB part and I should not worry about it.
In MCUXpresso IDE I can do the following

After that, I can specify that I want the following project to have a role either of Standalone, MASTER or SLAVE

2. Since I do not see this option ATM, does it mean it's not yet supported (or never will be)?
3. Maybe I should create the project in the MCUXpresso IDE first, and then import it to the vscode?
Please let me know if I made some mistake in configuration or if you require so more information.
Best regards,
Michael
