[PATCH v12 11/22] gpu: nova-core: Hopper/Blackwell: add FMC firmware image
From: John Hubbard
Date: Mon Jun 01 2026 - 23:27:28 EST
FSP is the Falcon that runs FMC firmware on Hopper and Blackwell.
Load the FMC ELF in two forms: the image section that FSP boots from,
and the full Firmware object for later signature extraction during
Chain of Trust verification. Declare the FMC image in the module's
firmware table so it is bundled for FSP-based chipsets.
