+
+::
+
+    cpu list
+    cpu detail
+    cpu release <core ID> <addr>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The *cpu* command prints information about the CPUs, and release a CPU core
+to a given address to run applications.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+cpu list
+~~~~~~~~
+List and print brief information of all the CPU cores On i.MX8M Plus EVK:
+::
+
+    u-boot=> cpu list
+      0: cpu at 0      NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 31C
+
+      1: cpu at 1      NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 30C
+
+      2: cpu at 2      NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 31C
+
+      3: cpu at 3      NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 31C
+
+cpu detail
+~~~~~~~~~~
+Print more details of all the CPU cores On i.MX8M Plus EVK:
+::
+
+    u-boot=> cpu detail
+      0: cpu at 0      NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 31C
+
+            ID = 0, freq = 1.2 GHz: L1 cache, MMU
+      1: cpu at 1      NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 30C
+
+            ID = 0, freq = 1.2 GHz: L1 cache, MMU
+      2: cpu at 2      NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 31C
+
+            ID = 0, freq = 1.2 GHz: L1 cache, MMU
+      3: cpu at 3      NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 31C
+
+            ID = 0, freq = 1.2 GHz: L1 cache, MMU
+
+cpu release
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+On i.MX8M Plus EVK, release the LAST core to run a RTOS application,
+the <core ID> is the sequence number refer to the 'cpu list':
+::
+
+     u-boot=> load mmc 1:2 C0000000 /hello_world.bin
+     66008 bytes read in 5 ms (12.6 MiB/s)
+     u-boot=> dcache flush; icache flush
+     u-boot=> cpu release 3 C0000000
+     Released CPU core (mpidr: 0x3) to address 0xc0000000
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+The cpu command is available if CONFIG_CMD_CPU=y.
+
+Return code
+-----------
