The SMP hardware support, while well tested here at Tensilica, is not
part of the RB release; nor is the corresponding XTSC and XTMP support.
If you want early access, I suggest you contact Tensilica sales/support.

I don't know what's possible with existing RB, given, for example,
the processor needs a snoop interface (not in currently released RB).
