There is a nice manual from Toradex about Distro Boot integration [1].
You can also find a bunch of examples of integration of existing boards
just by grep-ing:

u-boot.git$ grep -ine "config_distro_bootcmd" -r ./include/configs/
./include/configs/pico-imx6ul.h:86:#include <config_distro_bootcmd.h>
./include/configs/kp_imx6q_tpc.h:84:#include <config_distro_bootcmd.h>
./include/configs/imx8mp_venice.h:21:#include <config_distro_bootcmd.h>
./include/configs/stm32f746-disco.h:30:#include <config_distro_bootcmd.h>
...

Hope this helps.
