Subject: [PATCH v4 5/8] gpu: nova-core: refactor SEC2 booter loading into BooterFirmware::run()
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 15:57:02 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427-nova-unload-v4-5-e145ccddae66@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427-nova-unload-v4-0-e145ccddae66@nvidia.com>
From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com>
Move the SEC2 reset/load/boot sequence into a BooterFirmware::run()
method, and call it from a thin run_booter() helper on Gsp. This is a
pure refactoring with no behavior change, done in preparation for adding
an alternative FSP boot path.
