The tool is published here:

https://github.com/qoriq-open-source/restool

There are two ways of configuring the mc-bus:
 - a static one, through a FDT based configuration file (we call it DPL), 
documented in the refman linked below, chapter 22.
 - a dynamic one, using this restool utility.
Please note the usage of restool is optional.

The reference manual documenting the ABI can be found here (registration 
required):

https://freescale.sdlproducts.com/LiveContent/content/en-US/QorIQ_SDK/GUID-53BEBDD8-1A5E-4DD0-8354-A9647AD35755

Click on the DPAA2 user manual link.

We're also working on publishing the docs on github so that they're more 
accessible.

Thanks & Best Regards, Laurentiu
