cpu command
===========
Synopsis
--------
::
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.
cpu list
~~~~~~~~
The 'list' subcommand lists and prints brief information of all the CPU cores,
the CPU information is provided by vendors' CPU driver.
cpu detail
~~~~~~~~~~
The 'detail' subcommand prints more details about the CPU cores, including
CPU ID, core frequency and feature list.
cpu release
~~~~~~~~~~~
The 'release' subcommand is used to release a CPU core to run a baremetal or
RTOS applications.
The parameter <core ID> is the sequence number of the CPU core to release.
The parameter <addr> is the address to run of the specified core after release.
Examples
--------
cpu list
~~~~~~~~
This example lists all the CPU cores On i.MX8M Plus EVK:
::
u-boot=> cpu list
0: cpu@0 NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 31C
1: cpu@1 NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 30C
2: cpu@2 NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 31C
3: cpu@3 NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 31C
cpu detail
~~~~~~~~~~
This example prints the details of the CPU cores On i.MX8M Plus EVK:
::
u-boot=> cpu detail
0: cpu@0 NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 31C
ID = 0, freq = 1.2 GHz: L1 cache, MMU
1: cpu@1 NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 30C
ID = 0, freq = 1.2 GHz: L1 cache, MMU
2: cpu@2 NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 31C
ID = 0, freq = 1.2 GHz: L1 cache, MMU
3: cpu@3 NXP i.MX8MP Rev1.1 A53 at 1200 MHz at 31C
ID = 0, freq = 1.2 GHz: L1 cache, MMU
cpu release
~~~~~~~~~~~
This example shows release the LAST CPU core to run a RTOS application, on
i.MX8M Plus EVK:
::
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
-----------
The return value $? is set to 0 (true) if the command is successful,
1 (false) otherwise.
