Are bootloaders common with microcontrollers?
I've been tinkering with MCUboot. It works w/ Zephyr, Mynewt, NuttX, RIOT, Mbed OS ...

At what point did you decide "wow I really need two or more cores"?
Reset vector to main(): mcuboot is the recommended bootloader. You configure your flash partition map so that the reset vector points to the boot_partition start. E.g. for an STM32F476ZG-Nucleo board, I did
