imx6 Solox u-boot splash

Question

everyone, I would like to change u-boot splash image. Normally, it's showing NXP logo. It's using 4.1.15.2.0 kernel. How can I change this image and make my own distro? I would appreciate if you help me.

Best regards.

You want to change the Kernel Splash Image or the U-Boot splash image? — h0ch5tr4355, Jul 28 '17 at 07:31

You want to enable the u-Boot splash in your boards configuration file:

#define CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN

Then the splash screen will display what is stored in the u-Boot environment variable: splashimage

When creating your bitmap image remember to ensure that it matches the colour depth and size.

Taken from u-Boot documentation:

Since loading an image will define a new color map, the remainder of the display will appear with incorrect colors. It is therefore recommended that all images match exactly the size of the current display device. We accepted these restrictions since speed was top priority, and all attempts to implement scaling or optimizing the color maps would slow down the display too much. It is much easier to perform the necessary transformations on the development host, where a plethora of tools is available.
