We store a splash screen in SPI-NOR. We chose to use a FIT image as a container because we want to - store more than just the splash screen in SPI-NOR, - do not create a bunch of MTD partitions, - do not waste storage space, and - avoid the overhead of a real file system.
In general U-Boot already supports this. But there were some ripples we had to smooth out. The following patches resolve these.
Changes since v1: - Document default name in README.splashprepare - Use ALIGN() macro
Leo Ruan (2): splash: Use splashfile instead of location->name splash: Load internal and external data from FIT
