How to get a bare metal imx7 project to debug on the second A7 core

How do I get an imx7 bare metal A7 project to run on the second A7 processor.  I didn't see any place in the project where I thought I had to change something to build for the second core.  (I would have thought some different DOMAIN_ID might be needed for the RDC).  I tried to go into debug mode by selecting run->debug confgurations -then selecting the second A7 core and clicking on debug.  But I got the following error messages when it was trying to load my code:

Connected to stopped target NXP - i.MX7 Dual on TCP:localhost
cd "C:\Development\DS-5Examples\startup_Cortex-A7"
Working directory "C:\Development\DS-5Examples\startup_Cortex-A7"

Hi eric

this may depend on debugging environment, so for DS-5 one can look at arm resources

DS-5 Development Studio | Tutorials – ARM Developer 

and ask its support about such possibility

Best regards
