Splash Screen on iMX6SLL EVK + IMXEBOOKDC4 EPD

[ekerebel]

Hello,

I am trying to display a splash screen at u-boot.

I have been following the instructions in the i.MX_Reference_Manual_Linux.pdf (IMXLXRM Rev.L4.9.88_2.0.0-ga, 05/2018), 6.2.6.1.2.7 Enabling an EPDC Splash Screen:

- updated mx6sllevk.h (added the 2 defines) and re-compiled, regenerated the image (DISTRO='fsl-imx-fb' MACHINE=imx6sllevk source fsl-setup-release.sh)

- converted the EPD060XH2C1.fw into epdc_splash.bin

- copied the epdc_splash.bin into the FAT partition

At reboot, I still do not see a splash screen.

Is there a default splash screen that should be displayed? Where do I modify the source of the default splash screen or logo?

I was finally able to display the splash screen.

All I had to do was:

1- adjust the local.conf and add UBOOT_CONFIG = "sd epdc"

2- Add epdc_splash.bin waveform file in boot partition

3- Add epdc_logo.pgm in boot partition
