Change Gumstix Overo Booting Screen (Logo image)

By default, overo boots up with its own image with progress bar. I want to display my own picture when it boots up.

I follow the below website, but it is for Angstrom. I did some modification to suit my overo COM.

1) bitbake psplash

$ cd /build/czhang/overo-oe

$ source build/profile

$ bitbake psplash

...

2) copy make-image-header.sh file to proper place.

$ cp /build/czhang/overo-oe/tmp/work/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/psplash-angstrom-0.0+svnr422-r33/psplash/make-image-header.sh /build/czhang/overo-oe/org.openembedded.dev/recipes/psplash/files/overo

3) create your own image file, make sure it is in right dimensions.

$ cd /build/czhang/overo-oe/org.openembedded.dev/recipes/psplash/files/overo

$ ./make-image-header.sh [your-image].png HAND

    back up original image head file:

$ mv psplash-hand-img.h psplash-hand-img.h_orig

$ mv [your-imge]-img.h psplash-hand-img.h

$ cd /build/czhang/overo-oe

$ source build/profile

$ bitbake psplash

Error occurred:

| FATAL: oe_runmake failed

it took me a long time to figure it out. In

/build/czhang/overo-oe/tmp/work/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/psplash-0.0+svnr422-r33/psplash

there are three files:
psplash-hand-img.h
psplash-poky-img.h
psplash-bar-img.h

take a look psplash-poky-img.h content where the error occurred:

$ less psplash-poky-img.h

/* GdkPixbuf RGB C-Source image dump 1-byte-run-length-encoded */

#define HAND_IMG_ROWSTRIDE (816)

#define HAND_IMG_WIDTH (272)

#define HAND_IMG_HEIGHT (363)

#define HAND_IMG_BYTES_PER_PIXEL (3) /* 3:RGB, 4:RGBA */

#define HAND_IMG_RLE_PIXEL_DATA ((uint8*) \

After I replaced the HAND with POKY, and bitbake again, error disappeared.

4) bitbake console image

$ bitbake omap3-console-image

5) remember to install psplash_0.0+svnr422-r33.6_armv7a.ipk (maybe psplash-support_0.0+svnr422-r33.6_armv7a.ipk too), this is a software which can load booting image.

Done! you will see the pretty image in the booting procedure.
