Yeah, I’m also very interested.
Here’s what file says:
$ file gsp.bin
gsp.bin: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, UCB RISC-V, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped
RISC-V? Wow. Looks like internally NVIDIA GPUs contain a RISC CPU.
Also, is this a preparation for allowing nouveau to finally support reclocking?
7z shows even more:
