Is it possible to remote debug a multicore system of which each core has different instruction set arch?

Or if I can debug multiple chip at the same time, each of which is different arch? I think this feature is important, since in the future there will be more debug situations like this.

If such a heterogeneous hardware system exists, the different cores will necessarily be running different
OS images. So treat it as debugging two physically separate machines, nothing different from today.
