Subject: [PATCH v7 02/12] gpu: nova-core: add ImemNonSecure section infrastructure
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:52:52 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260121235302.1962185-3-ttabi@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260121235302.1962185-1-ttabi@nvidia.com>
The GSP booter firmware in Turing and GA100 includes a third memory
section called ImemNonSecure, which is non-secure IMEM. This section
must be loaded separately from DMEM and secure IMEM, but only if it
actually exists.
