Boot logo

Hello,

I want to use my own boot logo. I found some advices in psplash folder
in the OE/packages dir but I did not get an idea how to get it.

Is there any step by step advice for making a own boot logo and
replace the Angstrom one?

I want to use my own boot logo. I found some advices in psplash folder
in the OE/packages dir but I did not get an idea how to get it.

Is there any step by step advice for making a own boot logo and
replace the Angstrom one?

1. I replaced $OE/openembedded/packages/psplash/files/psplash-hand-img.h
which one I generated with make-image.sh.
2. opkg install psplash-support_0.0\+svnr249-r16.1_armv7a.ipk
-force-reinstall -force-overwrite
3. opkg install psplash_0.0\+svnr249-r16.1_armv7a.ipk

...but the logo remains the same - no change.

What do I miss?

I am trying the same thing, trying to have a custom startup screen.
Did you or anyone have any success?

My notes:
1. create png logo (exchange blue and red channel if 24bit)
2. execute "./make-image-header.sh logo_450x185_bgr.png HAND"
(make-image-header is part of psplash)
3. cp logo_450x185_bgr-img.h $OE/.../files/psplash-hand-img.h
4. bitbake -c rebuild -b psplash-angstrom_svn.bb
5 reinstall all psplash-ipk's

for example.

My apologies. I do not understand what you mean to say.

A better idea is to create your own psplash-robert.bb that install a new splash using u-a.

Thanks for the link. I am used to posting on forums and now I will get

yep, takes a little getting used to. by the way, a good idea is to
switch to text only emails.. saves quite a few bytes for thousand+
people downloading the same email..

Another solution is to re-compile psplash directly on the beagleboard
whit the good header.

1.create png logo (exchange blue and red channel if 24bit)
2. download http://labs.o-hand.com/sources/psplash/psplash-0.1.tar.gz
, the tarball containing psplash and the script make-image-header.sh
-> wget http://labs.o-hand.com/sources/psplash/psplash-0.1.tar.gz
3. extract the tarball
-> tar xvf psplash-0.1.tar.gz
3. execute "psplash-0.1/make-image-header.sh logo_450x185_bgr.png
HAND"
   3.1 if gdk-pixbuf-csource is missing, "opkg install gtk+-dev"
should fix that.
4. copy the header within the logo in the source folder
-> cp logo_450x185_bgr-img.h psplash-0.1/psplash-hand-img.h
5. go into the source folder
-> cd psplash-0.1
6. Prepare the installation
-> ./configure
7. compile and install
-> make && make install
8. redirect the symoblic link to our new psplash
-> ln -sf /usr/local/bin/psplash /usr/bin/psplash

Thank you for the tips, but the link to the sources is not working. I will try to do it by bitbake psplash.

Did you succeed?
I try on beaglebone black. But I can’t do it.

Were you ever able to get psplash going on the BBB??

Trying to do this as well.
