These firmware images are required to provide GSP offloading support
on Turing (TU10x) and later GPUs.
The GPU System Processor is a RISC-V coprocessor that is used to offload
GPU initialization and management tasks. The Nvidia proprietary driver
(aka Resource Manager or RM) is split between a host CPU portion (CPU-RM)
and the GSP portion (GSP-RM).
The Nouveau driver can also load, initialize, and use GSP-RM for similar
purposes, and that is why these binary images are included.
The gsp-xxx.yy.zz.bin files contain GSP-RM itself and are extracted from the
Nvidia proprietary driver ".run" package.
The other binary images are support boot loaders that are extracted from
Nvidia's "OpenRM" git repository at
https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules using the
extract-firmware-nouveau.py script.
