SolutionIt is an EFI shell script, i.e. a text file.
It is executed when you enter EFI shell mode. You could customize it to display information or to auto-execute EFI commands when entering the EFI shell.

It is the EFI network boot loader: the first stage of a network boot operation on any Itanium system.
If you configure a HP-UX Itanium system to boot from an Ignite-UX server (using the PXE boot protocol), NBP.EFI is the first file downloaded from the Ignite server by the boot procedure. I don't know what purpose (if anything) it serves on the EFI boot partition.
> What is the purpose of "FPSWA.EFI " what is the content ?
It is an EFI binary, containing the Floating Point SoftWare Assist library. It is included just in case the EFI firmware on the system does not include floating-point math functions.
> How can the below tools be used?
README.network is a text file that contains instructions for using the other files. INET.NSH is a script template (i.e. a text file). It is an example of how to start up TCP/IP networking in EFI shell mode: just edit in the correct network parameters and use it.
The other tools could be used to configure a network interface, test basic IP connectivity, then download a firmware upgrade file from a FTP server.

Adding to the Pharoah's comments, the following utilities you see there are the reason why the Extensible Firmware Interface is termed to be "extensible".
