I need some help in determining how to have a color splash image display in place of the Linux scrolling-text during the boot-up process on an embedded Linux device using u-boot. The kernel used is a stripped-down version of Linux (kernel 2.6.29), which has been custom configured. The distros used are Ubuntu Linux 10.04 (development platform) and X-Linux 5.6.2 (target platform). Our bootloader is syslinux.
This is the U-Boot mailing list. Your question is completely off topic here.
Hint: try passing a "console=null" boot argument.
Also, is there a way to make u-boot support our custom board?
Maybe. It's hard to give a precise answer when you don't even disclose which architecture and/or board you are talking about?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
