+i.MX remoteproc usage guide
+===========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This guide is for giving user how to use the Remote Processors found on
+various i.MX Chips. The term remote processor is indicating the Cortex-M
+[4,7,33] cores inside i.MX family.
+
+i.MX8MM-EVK
+-----------
+
+Steps to start the Cortex-M4 core
+
+    load mmc 2:2 0x90000000 /lib/firmware/imx8mm_m4_TCM_rpmsg_lite_str_echo_rtos.elf
+
+    rproc load 0 0x90000000 ${filesize}
+
+    rproc start 0
+
+i.MX8MN-EVK
+-----------
+
+Steps to start the Cortex-M7 core
+
+    load mmc 2:2 0x90000000 /lib/firmware/imx8mn_m7_TCM_rpmsg_lite_str_echo_rtos.elf
+
+    rproc load 0 0x90000000 ${filesize}
+
+    rproc start 0
+
+i.MX8MQ-EVK
+-----------
+
+Steps to start the Cortex-M4 core
+
+    load mmc 0:2 0x90000000 /lib/firmware/imx8mq_m4_TCM_rpmsg_lite_str_echo_rtos.elf
+
+    rproc load 0 0x90000000 ${filesize}
+
+    rproc start 0
+
+i.MX8MP-EVK
+-----------
+
+Steps to start the Cortex-M7 core
+
+    load mmc 2:2 0x90000000 /lib/firmware/imx8mp_m7_TCM_rpmsg_lite_str_echo_rtos.elf
+
+    rproc load 0 0x90000000 ${filesize}
+
+    rproc start 0
+
+i.MX93-FRDM/QSB/EVK
+-------------------
+
+Steps to start the Cortex-M33 core, need to choose the correct file for
+corresponding board.
+
+    load mmc 0:2 0x90000000 /lib/firmware/imx93-11x11-evk_m33_TCM_rpmsg_lite_str_echo_rtos.elf
+
+    rproc load 0 0x90000000 ${filesize}
+
+    rproc start 0
