Custom splash screen using psplash

Custom splash screen using psplash

[Giovanni Foiani]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 711 bytes --]

Hi,

I need to setup a custom splash screen replacing the Yocto logo with a
custom image.
I generated my logo using make-image script into psplash screen and
replaced the previous one in meta/recipes-core/psplash/files folder.
Then I run


   - bitbake psplash -c cleansstate
   - bitbake psplash

and then generate a new image, but during boot I still see the Yocto logo.
Which is the right procedure?
Does the my custom logo (a png image) have some requirements (i.e. size,
colors, etc..)?

Thanks

Giovanni

The yocto psplash logo comes from meta-yocto/recipes-core/psplash. Rather than 
changing the one in that directory though, the recommended way to provide your 
own splash screen is to do what meta-yocto does in your own layer (i.e. just 
copy that directory into your own layer and replace the logo there).

Cheers,
Paul

Did you re-generate the image too?

Hi Scott,

I copied the psplash directory (and replaced the logo with mine) into my
own layer but when I run:

   - bitbake psplash -c cleansstate
   - bitbake psplash

it still builds the sources located into meta-yocto directory and not
sources that are into my own layer directory.
How can I build a package pointing to a specific folder path ?

Thanks

Giovanni

You don't need to copy the entire thing, here is a working example
(against Denzil) of a layer that overrides the splash:

https://github.com/Guacamayo/meta-guacamayo/tree/master/meta-guacamayo/recipes-core/psplash

(the bbappend can be shorter if you track master, as the comments say)

custom splash screen using psplash

[Yuvarajesh Valleru]

Hallo,

I would like to overwrite the poky psplash splash screen [1] with my 
custom splash screen.

I copied the psplash_git.bb recipe from 
openembedded-core/meta/recipes-core/psplash/ to my custom layer and 
changed psplash_poky_img.h to mycustom_image_img.h in mycustom_recipe/files/

But during the boot the Custom splash screen displays along with a 
progress bar from poky splash screen. (I noticed that the psplash.c 
source file also contains progress-bar.h file included)

Is it possible to remove or overwrite the complete poky splash screen 
files with mycustom_splashscreen?

Thank you,

Best Regards;
Rajesh

[Burton, Ross]

The easy solution would be to not use meta-poky at all, but if you
insist then you'll have to set the layer priority so bitbake uses your
layer instead of meta-poky

And also note that if in the future you decide to use systemd, AFAIK
there is no progress bar there.

Hi Ricardo,

We already use systemd, but didn't use psplash before (so you had the 
pure console messages on screen).

We didn't think about progress bar so far, but maybe it would be nice.

Can you think about a way to use a progress bar with a custom picture?

Thanks and regards,
Rajesh

In our case systemd boots so fast that there is no point for a progress bar.
And image on grub is enough to satisfy the impatient clients ;)

If you find out a good solution with systemd and progressbar please share it
