STM32MP1: OpenOCD cannot halt all cores
I am currently working on a design based around the STM32MP157C (mounted in the Seeed SoM - STM32MP157C).
I am trying to connect to the M4 Core on the target but I cannot halt it. When I attempt to do it, the debugger can halt the A7 CPU0 but fails at stopping the A7 CPU1 (Error: timeout waiting for DSCR bit change).
The M4 is completely inaccessible.
When I try to access the cores from the OpenOCD telnet interface, I can list the targets and get the following output after issuing a reset halt command.
> reset halt

Deferring arp_examine of STM32MP157CACx.cm4
Use arp_examine command to examine it manually!
Target not examined, will not halt after reset!

How can I access the core and load a program into it ?
Tool versions and configuration:
- STM32CubeIDE 1.4.0 on Ubuntu 20.04 (I use the provided OpenOCD)
- STlink V2 with the latest firmware
- Debug connection: SWD at 1.8 MHz (higher clock rates result in communication failure due to electrical contraints, lower clock rates do not change the result)
- Debug mode setup: Connect under reset, Enable debug in low power mode and Stop watchdog counter when halt are both enabled
