u-boot splash screen (no command line messages)

[anilkandikonda]

hello guys, 

I am pretty new to this u-boot environment and customization and using i.mx 8mp board.

I need some inputs or help or some steps(actually elaborated) in order to create a minimal u-boot with custom splash screen(image on entire screen) with no command line logs while booting. I have this .bmp image which I have created by following some external links. but no idea how to proceed further from there.

Any help or inputs on this is highly appreciated as I know I am asking you guys a bigger chunk of help.

Hello @anilkandikonda 

I hope you are doing very well.

You can take a look to the AN13709 that is about of Linux Boot Time Optimizations for i.MX8M Family.

In chapter 4 is mentioned the possible Bootloader optimizations.

I hope this information can helps to you.

Best regards,

Salas.
