Currently I'm attempting to make my u-boot display a splash screen. Currently, the display dirver is being uncooperative, so I decided to focus my attention on creating a bitmap image that will be considered acceptable to the u-boot system.
I've read through the brief descriptions about the bmp command and transfering data into the flash, but I'm having some issue getting u-boot to recognize my bitmaps. All I'm getting out of the system is that "There is no valid bmp file at the given address." I know that the address I give is the address of the bitmap in flash, and I am able to transfer new bitmaps over to the flash, I am just perplexed on how to create a suitable bitmap image. What am I missing.
