Debuging M4 core of STM32MP1 in QtCreator

Valeologiya

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to setup debug environment for debugging Cortex M4 core of STM32MP1 in QtCreator. ST have made an instruction and in console everything works fine. https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/GDB
The results from OpenOCD console:

Now, I'm trying to setup this in the Creator and have problems. I've made a bare metal device. Set up right openocd path, openocd config and gdb from the sysroot.

It's just a test configuration whit no meaningful commands, but on this stage already I have problems. When I start debugging I have this:

The reasons of the problems:

There are two cores in the chip, and QtCreator always try to attach to the first.. Cortex A7 is the main core, has the debug port 3333 and shouldn't have been attached. The second core is Cortex M4. It has the debug port 3334 and we want to attach to it.
QtCreator in some magic unvisible way execute the halt command, but this command shouldn't be executed.

My questions are:

Is there a way to force QtCreator and/or gdb to show everything what they do?
Is there a way to make QtCreator to connect to the second core on the port 3334? Don't suggest setting up the right port, it will have another meaning.
Is there a way to make QtCreator not to do the halt command?
