Introduction

On this page you will learn how to activate LCD support in U-Boot and display a Splash Screen at boot.

Note Note: The following instructions have only be tested on OPOS6UL.


Installation

  • Save your image as BMP file (in Gimp use Run-Length (RLE) encoding, no alpha channel and no color informations (compatibility options). If the RLE option is grayed out, go to Image > Mode and select Indexed...)
  • Activate LCD in U-Boot (here ST0700):
BIOS> setenv videomode video=ctfb:x:800,y:480,depth:18,pclk:33033,le:8,ri:4,up:2,lo:4,hs:64,vs:4,sync:0,vmode:0

Test it

BIOS> tftpboot ${loadaddr} xxx.bmp
BIOS> bmp info ${loadaddr}
Image size    : 296 x 72
Bits per pixel: 8
Compression   : 0

BIOS> bmp display ${loadaddr} 100 50

Deploy it

  • Here we assume that logo is stored in /boot directory of rootfs eMMC partition as logo.bmp:
BIOS> setenv splashimage 0x80000000
BIOS> setenv splashfile /boot/logo.bmp
BIOS> setenv splashsource mmc_fs

  • If you want Linux to keep your U-Boot Logo during boot process, then some tweaks are needed:
    • define CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE in U-Boot configuration file, here we reserve 2MBytes: 
      #define CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE         (2 << 20)
  • Force framebuffer RAM address in U-Boot LCD driver (OPOS6UL has 256MBytes (0x10000000) RAM starting at physical 0x80000000):

  • Remove following options of your Linux config file:

-CONFIG_FONTS=y
-CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
-CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y
