[gitgonewithwind]

Hi all,

I modified meta-raspberrypi/recipes-core/psplash/psplash_%.bbappend almsot same as in pi4 as bebow

FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SPLASH_IMAGES:rpi = "file://flash_1024_576.png;outsuffix=raspberrypi"

or
FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SPLASH_IMAGES:rpi = "file://flash_1024_576.png;outsuffix=raspberrypi"

SRC_URI:append:rpi = " file://framebuf.conf"

do_install:append:rpi() {
if [ "${@bb.utils.filter('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'systemd', d)}" ]; then
install -Dm 0644 ${WORKDIR}/framebuf.conf ${D}${systemd_system_unitdir}/psplash-start.service.d/framebuf.conf
fi
}

and DISABLE_SPLASH = "1" in local.con same as pi4
and dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait silent quiet splash loglevel=0 logo.nologo
in /boot/cmdline.txt same as pi4

but my own picture flash_1024_576.png No display. same settings in pi4 image work with older commit

any help?

Hi, I have the same problem, it works fine if I use sysvinit but after switching to systemd no more psplash is shown on boot.

@farias-automac
I saw here #1313
I just switched to systemd and built. but if I switch to systemd , I will change my APP startup script to service. I want to keep the older one. I am still building the image

[gitgonewithwind]

Not work for me
using solution #1313
Include psplash: IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " psplash"
Use systemd: INIT_MANAGER = "system"

after using systemd , X windows completely NO display, no psplash, no serial console,
quit to command login with keyboard

so I have not found the solutions, so I have to restore to NO systemd

any help?

root@raspberrypi5:/var/log# grep -r plash .
./boot:Thu May 30 12:42:50 2024: /etc/rc5.d/S00psplash.sh: line 39: /usr/bin/psplash: No such file or directory

no executable file /usr/bin/psplash generated in image.

Hi, I have the same problem, it works fine if I use sysvinit but after switching to systemd no more psplash is shown on boot.

you mean you use meta-respberry default .bbapend and sysvinit. it will show raspberry ?
but I can not. there is no /usr/bin/psplash generated.

I remember in pi4 there is a /usr/bin/psplash. I directly run it ,it can show in pi4. in yocto, it generated a executable file psplash-write. no psplash , I do not know how to use psplash-write and search it why no psplash.

now I try to use psplash source code in pi4 board to directly compile it to try

[gitgonewithwind]

I found build/tmp/work/cortexa76-poky-linux/psplash/0.1+git/build/psplash, it was not put into image.
let me copy in pi5 board to run.
directly running splash in p5 board /usr/bin ,it woks. boot board, it works

[gitgonewithwind]

I find the reason, for my settings same as pi4 , psplash actually generated in build/tmp/work/cortexa76-poky-linux/psplash/0.1+git/build, but it was not put into image rootfs

[gitgonewithwind]

finally, I find poky/meta/recipes-core/psplash/psplash_git.bb , there is a line : rm -f ${D}${bindir}/psplash
I am not sure why remove here. (older commit poky has the same line ,but pi4 works). I commented it, it works. the psplash was put into image rootfs

[gitgonewithwind]

solved!

finally fixed, I add 1 line
install -m 0755 ${B}/psplash ${D}${bindir}/psplash
to install psplash again in
file meta-raspberrypi/recipes-core/psplash/psplash_%.bbappend , the file is changed to:

FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SPLASH_IMAGES:rpi = "file://flash_1024_576.png;outsuffix=raspberrypi"

SRC_URI:append:rpi = " file://framebuf.conf"

do_install:append:rpi() {
if [ "${@bb.utils.filter('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'systemd', d)}" ]; then
install -Dm 0644 ${WORKDIR}/framebuf.conf ${D}${systemd_system_unitdir}/psplash-start.service.d/framebuf.conf
fi
install -m 0755 ${B}/psplash ${D}${bindir}/psplash.
}

FILES:${PN}:append:rpi = " ${systemd_system_unitdir}/psplash-start.service.d"

DISABLE_SPLASH = "1" in local.conf do not matter if add it and do not add it. finally ,I remove this line

[farias-automac]

finally, I find poky/meta/recipes-core/psplash/psplash_git.bb , there is a line : rm -f ${D}${bindir}/psplash I not am sure why remove here. pi4 (older commit pork has the same line ,but pi4 works). I commented it, it works. the psplash was put into image rootfs

Out of curiosity, what branch are you using?
