How to start up a core?
Debug Entry feature in Hardware menu / CPU Options / Cores allows you to configure per-core startup actions.
Use cases:
Want to debug a core immediately after it is released from reset?
1. Open Hardware menu / CPU Options / <core name>.
2. Set Debug entry type to Catch.
This setting is overridden with the way of emulation start (e.g. Download, Reset and Attach) for a boot core.
Want to debug a secondary core which is usually started by an unused mechanism?
1. Open Hardware menu / CPU Options / <core name>.
2. Set Debug entry type to Catch.
3. (optional) Apply core release and catch/stop mechanism in EVE.
4. Set Preset PC after stopped in init to:
- Preset to Entry Point or
- Preset to Address and select an address in the PC Preset address field.
Catch mechanism, although available by an architecture, might not be applicable due to the way a core was integrated in SoC clocking and power distribution.

Refer to <Architecture> / Setup / Core specific options, e.g. for ARM Cortex, for more information.
