2025-06-23gpu: nova-core: update and annotate TODO listAlexandre Courbot
A few new dependencies are required to remove some of the TODO items: - A way to safely convert from byte slices to types implementing `FromBytes`, - A way to obtain slices and write into a `CoherentAllocation`, - Several improvements to the `register!()` macro, - Alignment operations to powers of two, and an equivalent to the C `fls`, - Support for `xa_alloc` in the XAlloc bindings. Some items have also become obsolete: - The auxiliary bus abstractions have been implemented and are in use, - The ELF utilities are not considered for being part of the core kernel bindings anymore. - VBIOS, falcon and GPU timer have been completed. We now have quite a few TODO entries in the code, so annotate them with a 4 letter code representing the corresponding task in `todo.rst`. This allows to easily find which part of the code corresponds to a given entry (and conversely).

2025-05-13gpu: nova-core: define registers layout using helper macroAlexandre Courbot
Add the register!() macro, which defines a given register's layout and provide bit-field accessors with a way to convert them to a given type. This macro will allow us to make clear definitions of the registers and manipulate their fields safely. The long-term goal is to eventually move it to the kernel crate so it can be used by other drivers as well, but it was agreed to first land it into nova-core and make it mature there. To illustrate its usage, use it to define the layout for the Boot0 (renamed to NV_PMC_BOOT_0 to match OpenRM's naming scheme) and take advantage of its accessors.

2025-03-09gpu: nova-core: add initial documentationDanilo Krummrich
Add the initial documentation of the Nova project. The initial project documentation consists out of a brief introduction of the project, as well as project guidelines both general and nova-core specific and a task list for nova-core specifically. The task list is divided into tasks for general Rust infrastructure required by the project, tasks regarding GSP enablement and firmware abstraction, general GPU driver tasks as well as tasks related to external API design and test infrastructure.
