Christos Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Hi, Can someone help me on how we can set a uBoot splash screen (with a .bmp) instead of the running boot text? Need this in a OPiPC, legacy (3.4.113). Any help is welcome. Christos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Igor Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Not sure if its drop-in compatible with current bootloader but you get an idea:https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/patch/u-boot/u-boot-sunxi/remove-boot-messages-from-hdmi.patch.disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christos Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Thanks @Igor I guess that stops the running boot text. Is there a way to show instead a splash image on HDMI screen during uboot ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Igor Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Armbian logo should be displayed in uboot by default. At lest on most recent assembly. Image is read from /boot by another patch.Wrote on mobile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Christos Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 @Igor Unfortunately, it produced an error, new build, legacy, Xenial desktop/console [ warn ] * [l][c] remove-boot-messages-from-hdmi.patch [ failed ] Are you sure it works or am I missing something?

0 Igor Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 8 minutes ago, Christos said: Are you sure it works or am I missing something? It used to work a year ago ... if it breaks, you will need to dive into the u-boot source code to see why it breaks. Perhaps this can be solved in a minute, perhaps you need hours. For Armbian, this patch is not relevant, so it is not maintained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jcheriton Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 For those that have reached here trying to remove output text from u-boot the old patch no longer works.
