I'm developing an application in Qt on imx6Solox. I created the image with Wayland and its kernel version is 4.15.2.1.0. I'm wondering how to change the Nxp logo while is shown the system is booting. Also, can I upload a video in splash screen? If yes, how? Finally, I want to make my own distro or OS for imx, how can I make this? Could you suggest me a book or an article to make these?

Hi KK d ,

Well, your logo is white background (that means you add  your own logo image or you removed the logo image), anyway you need to do the following below steps.

Change The Boot Logo.

1. convert any *.* format image to *.png format

2. convert *.png format image to pnm or ppm format( you need to check which format is there in your source code),

3. copy the *.ppm image file to where your original source image is there and replace the name with original one.

4. Compile the your uImage or zImage thats it,

For Changing the the Splash Screen.

you need to follow the below steps.

1. convert any *.* format image to *.png format 

2. convert the *.png format to *.h format file and copy this file to original source code,

3. bitbake "your-image-name" thats it. New image is created copy and run the image.

 i hope this info is help full to you,

Best Regards,

Nandish S.G

pls refer to the enclosed file,  focus on the chapter 5.4 Splash screen support of uboot file

for how to customised your own, pls refer to the chapter 7 Customization of yocto user guide.

thank you for your answer. for a splash, it will help me. However, for customizing your own distro, the information isn't enough in the documentation.
