Is it possible to debug two boards simultaneously in one STMCubeIDE 1.51 session?

I am running the STMCubeIDE 1.5.1 and would like to debug two boards simultaneously. One is a NUCLEO-H723ZG and the other is a NUCLEO-F303RT.  The applications for each are designed to communicate with each other through the SPI ports on each. So I would like to debug the communication protocol between the two boards.

I can detect the unique serial numbers of each board under Debug Configurations > Debugger > ST-LINK S/N pull down menu after pressing the SCAN button. For the first debug session, I have checked Autostart local GDB server, but for the second I have checked Connect to remote GDB server instead because restarting the server upon launching the second session results an a GDB server error. What is the correct configuration for each debug session, provided that this is even possible?

You can open two instances of STMCubeIDE, one for each board and use the serial numbers of either ST-LINK.

    Or rely on same IDE session but enjoy STlink server feature (openOCD and GDB server compliant):

    Connected device limit is USB port enumeration limit.
