Changing the TI logo during Kernel load!

http://www.articleworld.org/index.php/How_to_change_the_Linux_penguin_boot_logo

Hi,

I am facing "command not found" error after giving the mentioned command from "./scripts" path. Please help!

I would also like to change the "TI logo" displayed after the "INIT kernel 2.86 booting " message. Please help!

Regards,

Hemanth

Hello, Hemanth!

Please describe your steps and where you have error.

I run the following command:-

./scripts/pnmtologo -t mono -n logo_linux_mono -o drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.c drivers/video/logo/logo_linux_mono.pbm

And the error is "pnmtologo: command not found".

Basically there are two pnmtologo files. One is pnmtologo.c file and other is pnmtologo file.

I am not sure what is missing!! 

Hello, Hemanth!

Where you run this command?
I change work directory on <linux sources>/scripts and...
$ ./pnmtologo -?

Usage: ./pnmtologo [options] <filename>

Valid options:
    -h          : display this usage information
    -n <name>   : specify logo name (default: linux_logo)
    -o <output> : output to file <output> instead of stdout
    -t <type>   : specify logo type, one of
                      mono    : monochrome black/white
                      vga16   : 16 colors VGA text palette
                      clut224 : 224 colors (default)
                      gray256 : 256 levels grayscale

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your help!

I could able to generate the image array file using ./pnmtologo as per your instructions.

./pnmtologo-o logo_softhard_cult224.c "/usr/local/ti-sdk-am335x-evm/board-support/linux-3.2-calixto/drivers/video/logo/logo_softhard_cult224.ppm"

Now when i perform 'make uImage' I don't see the newly generated logo C file (logo_softhard_cult224.c) being complied. Anything am I missing. The /Driver/Video/logo folder has the newly created C file.

Hemanth, because you create new file you should modify Makefile in drivers/video/logo for build it.

I have already modified the makefile in "/driver/video/logo" folder as bellow:-

Please look at the 4th line in the below file:- Am I missing something? Please provide me more details about the makefile. I am very new to Linux!!!

That your file will be compiled you should define CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_CLUT224, you can write it in .config manually or via menuconfig. For configure this via menuconfig you can modify drivers/video/logo/Kconfig.

Hi, Can you please elaborate? How to write to .config? Is it some file?

I had already added "LOGO_SOFTHARD_CULT224" in the Kconfig file as below, still the file was not compiling. Please help!

Please look at the last entry in the file. I just copied as the existing entries.

Hi,

I could able to run the menuconfig and the "Bootup logo" section in the Graphics Drivers shows only 3 options as below:-

 --- Bootup logo                                                                                             │ │  
  │ │                                      [*]   Standard black and white Linux logo                                                                   │ │  
  │ │                                      [*]   Standard 16-color Linux logo                                                                          │ │  
  │ │                                      [*]   Standard 224-color Linux logo                                                                         │ │  
  │ │                                                                          

Why my new logo is not getting listed?

This is a strange, I think you solve problem after clean and compile again.

No,

Everytime I do make clean and make uImage. Still its not working out!!

Any more information you need to help me on this issue? Please guide me to make it work!

Hemanth, please look...

In you Kconfig:
config LOGO_SOFTHARD_CLUT224
bool "224-color SoftHard Linux logo"
depends on SOFTHARD
default y

In you configuration:
CONFIG_LOGO=y
CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_MONO=y
CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_VGA16=y
CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_CLUT224=y
CONFIG_LOGO_SOFTHARD_CLUT224=y

You logo depands on SOFTHARD, but I not see CONFIG_SOFTHARD in your configuration.

Hi,

You are right, now i am able to compile the image file.

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Now please guide me about the splash screen. How can I change TI logo to my custom logo?

I looked at few posts at E2E, but did not help much. The compilation steps are not clear.

Please help!

Finally i could able to display our company logo instead of the Linux logo. Thanks a lot for your help!

1. Is it possible to align the logo to the center of the screen?

2. Now I would like to change the splash screen logo to our company logo. Please provide help!

Regards,
Hemanth 

Hello, Hemanth!

1. I see only one way - modify function.

2. It depends on your system, I not use splash screen on my system (U-Boot and Busybox).

Hi,

Please elaborate, I am very new to linux.

Dear Hemanth and Vignesh ,

                              I found u both can able to show your logo on your kit.  I am using AM335x series about sdk it is ti-sdk-05.07 .

from post on this forum i have downloaded psplash-0.1 and tried to execute make-image-header.sh with image file;

  eg:   user@ubuntu/in/psplash/folder$# sudo ./make-image-header.sh [My_image_name].bmp HAND  

I have executed this command to create [My_image_name].img.h file but there is some error ::

./make-image-header.sh: 4: ./make-image-header.sh: gdk-pixbuf-csource: not found

what to do next ;

or if there is other way apart from this pls mention it

i have gone through related post and individually i have posted but no one is replying so any one pls reply;
