Boot splash questions

(1/3) > >>

Hi everybody,

Why does the bootsplash has been integrated in the rockbox "kernel" since it's quite annoying to find those programs needed to compile arm in linux.

I'm just thinking of changing it, but can't find the damn arm-elf-gcc binary in my repos. Why not just get a directory named bootscreen or whatever and get the bitmap there?

Thanks.

DanManners:
Very Simply, it just doesn't work like that, and as nice as that would be, it won't happen in all reality. If you want a custom boot splash, kindly ask someone about downloading the arm-elf-gcc. That's what I did (not that I can help, I don't compile anymore.)

If you want to build the cross-compiler you might check this wiki page:

Llorean:
Who said it won't happen like that. If there's a working method for loading an alternate splash during boot, doesn't have negative side effects, works well (the usual) I'd be for trying to get it included, assuming it didn't slow down boot at all when the file isn't present ('at all' meaning 'measurably by a human staring at the screen').

The key is, the patch needs to be written (or in this case, the patch on the tracker needs testing and improvement).

That's ok.

I mean, I just wondered if it could ever be or so...

That's ok, maybe I'll try to get a patch done someday..
