MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM263X: AM263x.gel Modification For Lock Step Doesn't Work Anymore

Part Number: MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM263X

Hello,

Since CCS12.5, the following advice (rather its reverse) in C:/ti/mcu_plus_sdk_am263x_09_01_00_41/docs/api_guide_am263x/CCS_LAUNCH_PAGE.html doesn't work:

Using a simple SDK empty project, if I set 'mode = 0;' the console output suggests it is configuring for lockstep:

However, a quick check of the status reg and it is not in lock step, it is in dual core mode:

Please confirm.
