GEL (general extension language) files are typically used (perhaps I should say most useful) before the boot loader is available. It allows board manufactures to validate hardware without depending on the boot loader or the kernel. They are used to initialize SOC which allows additional software to be executed. It is also handy if you need to boot the Linux kernel without the boot loader. The boot loader initializes the same hardware, so you typically won't need to use the GEL files once you have boot loader working.
As far as I know, GEL is specific to CCS/TI.
