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

Uboot FreeRTOS (Need resources or guidance)
I was using the STM32F4 family and ran into the problem of uboot seeming too heavy. The project wasn't using freertos so there was some extra porting that needed to be done but the documentation over at (https://github.com/mcu-tools/mcuboot) helped out a lot.
