Blurry BMP Image in U-Boot on imx8qxp

[balajikalidas]

Hello,

I'm encountering a peculiar issue with U-Boot where a BMP image appears blurry when displayed, whereas the same image displays correctly in the kernel. I've summarized the key points of the problem below:

• Blurry Image: When I load and display a BMP image in U-Boot, it appears blurry particularly in text.

• Color Depth Matching: I want to ensure that the color depth (bits per pixel) of the image and the framebuffer in U-Boot match correctly to avoid color distortion.

• Scaling or Interpolation: I suspect that scaling or interpolation settings in U-Boot may be affecting image quality. How can I verify and control these settings?

• Framebuffer Resolution: I've confirmed that the framebuffer resolution in U-Boot is set correctly, matching the resolution of the image. However, blurriness persists.

• Framebuffer Initialization: I've checked the framebuffer initialization code in U-Boot, and it seems to be configured correctly.

Steps followed:
In uboot console enter the below commands

ext4load mmc ${mmcdev}:${mmcpart_logo} ${logo_addr} splash.bmp
bmp display ${logo_addr}

Hello,

My two cents here is to make sure that you image is the resolution that uboot supported, is 640x480.

@Bio_TICFSL  Tried using lower-resolution images as well, but I'm still observing blur around the text letters.

my uboot version:

can u suggest some debugging steps to resolve this issues.
