Thanks for improving the documentation.
One minor suggestion.
I have recently followed this document and noticed that the instruction to copy the mx8qm-apalis-scfw-tcm.bin to the U-Boot source is missing. Please add it.
Also, since you are updating several components, shouldn't mx8qm-apalis-scfw-tcm.bin be updated?
Currently, the version is from toradex-sumo-4.14.78-1.0.0_ga-bringup which looks quite ancient.

Hello Fabio,

Sure, I will prepare a v2 and also include changes for Apalis iMX8. Please note that I didn't do it now because I only changed Colibri iMX8X documentation, but since they are very similar, I will do a v2 with your suggestion.
Thanks,
Hiago.
