imx8mp uboot logo display on boot

[jemish_1990]

Hi All,

We are using imx8mp based product. In which I can display logo on uboot using "bmp" utility available at u-boot but I want to display this logo without using any utility, we want to do that via code.

In imx8mq based product we used to do that using './drivers/video/cfb_console.c' 

It was following Uboot

VERSION = 2018
PATCHLEVEL = 03
SUBLEVEL =

But I didn't find similar file imx8mp uboot. I tried to search but didn't find alternate file in imx8mp uboot. Currently it's :

VERSION = 2023
PATCHLEVEL = 04
SUBLEVEL =

Any pointers or suggestion will be appreciated.  

Thanks,

Jemish

Hi Salas,

I modified uboot code as following and with that changes it works fine now. I am putting code as reference that may help to others. We can close this thread as of now.

Hi All,

I also like to update that I put logo file with board name /tools/logo directory with bmp extension.

<uboot_dir>/tools/logo/<board_name.bmp>

while compiling it also generate required files:

tools/bmp_logo --gen-info ./tools/logos/imx8mp_liveuboard.bmp > include/bmp_logo.h
tools/bmp_logo --gen-bmp ./tools/logos/imx8mp_liveuboard.bmp > include/bmp_logo_data.h

But seems like no file is using this information to display logo on uboot. While I can display same logo using bmp utility. It's strange.

Can anyone help me regarding this?

Thanks,

Jemish
