Splashscreen for hummingboard

Postby kempe » Sun Oct 12, 2014 10:42 am

I want to enable a splashscreen during boot.
I first tried by installing plymouth but found out that plymouth does not work with uboot.

I then found uboot on github and on there page they mention splashsceen but there is not to much information about it if some one has enable splashscreen with uboot i would love to get some information on that.

Latest atempt was with fbi but i'm totaly new to systemd and did not have any luck getting it to run fbi during system boot. Anyway I would rather get it to work with uboot.

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/spashtest.service
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[Unit]
Description=A splash-screen

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/fbi -T 1 -noverbose -a /home/my/image.jpg
SyslogIdentifier=asplash

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
')

Everything you do with systemd will not covere uboot. We're talking bootloader vs userspace.

plymouth is meant to cover once you're into init/systemd userland. UBoot has it's own splash screen mechanism that you will need to use.
