Why do Mistral EVM use 10K PU to GPMC_NCS0 output pin (OMAP3530 CBB package, G4 ball)?
GPMC_NCS0 is an output from OMAP to select the memory IC. OMAP uses LVCMOS technology, so external pull-up seems redundant.

Yes, this pull up resistor is redundant. Reviewing the OMAP3530 Data Manual, the Ball Characteristics table indicates gpmc_ncs0 is driven high during and just after the release of reset.
As to the question of "why?", my response would be "just in case".
