Hello Again.
I am still unable to get the boot splash. I followed the steps given in
viewtopic.php?f=31&t=7133but am getting just a black screen and no splash image.
More specifically, I followed the following steps:
I downloaded the patched version of the plymouth-lite package from the link in page 2 of the above linked discussion. That is i downloaded the package in the following link:
https://github.com/T4d3o/Plymouth-lite
I extracted and ran ./configure && make. This setup the ply-image in my /usr/bin
I modified mkinitcpio.conf, and /usr/lib/initcpio/init files
I ran the mkinitcpio command
I modified the /boot/config.txt and /boot/cmdline.txt
I have also downloaded the "systemd" files from the link in page 1 of the forum discussion (i.e. from
https://github.com/embedded-webruntime/plymouth-lite), but, now I am not entirely sure as to what is required to enable the plymouth-lite-start.service.
I tried copying only the
plymouth-lite-start.service file to
/usr/share/systemd/system, and then tried to enable it using
systemctl enable. But I got the following output:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@Mantis-system-expt system]# systemctl enable /usr/lib/systemd/system/plymouth-lite-start.service
The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled
using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).

Any idea where I am going wrong. Since mashley said that the instructions worked for him on a Raspberry Pi 2, I think I am missing some step here. Any suggestions on how I can get the splash image on the screen?
