Dear Otavio,

Thanks your helpful answer before.

I would change test splash image feature.

According to Yocto BSP guide below, need to create a .bbappend.

Q1: Which folder need to place the .bbappend? sources/meta-fsl-arm,   sources/poky/meta-yocto

Either or know bitbake to check image build folder in use?

Q2: How to change IMAGE_FEATURES setting? I would change splash variables.

Hi Thomas,

The right way is to create a layer for your customizations so it is easy to maintain it in future so:

R1: add it in your layer

R2: create an image for your project.

Does psplash accept a progress bar? Is there any reasonable psplash doc ?


For example fbsplash accept. You can send progress value through fifo file.

Yes, psplash does.

There is no doc about it but we can assist you, at O.S. Systems, if you need any help. We do have done several customizations for it for customers along these years.

The package responsable for the bootscreen is the psplash; you need to make a specific layer with your project changes and one of those will be the ones for psplash so you have your brand logo during initial boot.

Hi Otavio,

Check metas and psplash is located in sources/meta_fsl-arm/psplash.

And make-image-header.sh is located here as well. If possible to run the script and finish this job?

We don't have psplash customization in meta-fsl-arm so you need to base in the Poky one.

You should have a new layer for your company or product and put it there (psplash bbappend, your headers and like).

Hi Otavio,

Well, so  try to build a minimal build to test as below progress. But error found. Wish a good idea for new layer build.

wget http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.3/poky-danny-8.0.tar.bz2

tar xjf poky-danny-8.0.tar.bz2

cd poky-danny-8.0/

git clone git://git://github.com/Freescale/meta-fsl-arm.git -b danny

cd ..

source oe-init-build-env

change conf/local.conf to MACHINE ??= 'imx28evk'

bitbake -s core-image-minimal

Show error as below

Your meta-fsl-arm is at master branch, not danny.

Please use the Yocto Project GIT server: meta-fsl-arm - Layer containing Freescale ARM hardware support metadata
