Title: Custom Boot Screen
Post by: MysticGriffin on May 15, 2016, 10:42:59 PM

I'd really like to set dCore up so that I don't have any text output on boot, and instead have an image displayed. An animated image would be cool but not necessary. I imagine this must be possible, I'm just not sure how. Could some one enlighten me?

Thanks  :)

The quickest way would be to add the bootcode console=/dev/null as well as a framebuffer bootcode, then start a FB image viewer at the start of tc-config (and possibly kill at the end, depends on the viewer).

The various splash programs have also been used, with some more config, see the wiki.
