Instances of the Falcon microcontroller appear in modern Nvidia GPUs and are crucial to the GPU boot process. Document some concepts which will make nova-core boot code easier to digest. All the information is derived from public sources such as public documents, OpenRM and Nouveau code.

nova NVIDIA GPU drivers
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
The nova driver project consists out of two separate drivers nova-core and
|
|
nova-drm and intends to supersede the nouveau driver for NVIDIA GPUs based on
|
|
the GPU System Processor (GSP).
|
|
|
|
The following documents apply to both nova-core and nova-drm.

|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
The nova-core driver is the core driver for NVIDIA GPUs based on GSP. nova-core,
|
|
as the 1st level driver, provides an abstraction around the GPUs hard- and
|
|
firmware interfaces providing a common base for 2nd level drivers, such as the
|
|
vGPU manager VFIO driver and the nova-drm driver.
