Setup everything and make sure you can compile.  Then write a plugin that displays that information you want, which should be straightforward.

Finally, see this thread for instructions on how to make a plugin run at start:

Thank you
But I wanted to know if it is possible to change the bootable of the sansa player not only Rockbox

Example, after the SanDisk logo (flower) My name appears

Yes, you can edit that bitmap file to be anything.  However, it is only displayed for < 1 second or so on most sandisk players.

1. When I create a new project and I select my Sansa (No. 62)
    Do I have to choose with B???

2. Where do I find the bitmap file
    And what format it needs to be to fit my Sansa???

Sorry, but I cant help you on your questions, but I think having a custom screen after the sandisk flower is not possible, because then you are already booting the sandisk firmware.

There is a tool that can swap the splash screen. See http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LogoSwapper or look on the forums for logo swapper like http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=12519.0

The flower logo is the sandisk firmware.  In rockbox you get the rockbox splash screen:

http://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=tree;f=apps/bitmaps/native

You want rockboxlogo.128x42x1.bmp.  I would compile a main build first and try that.  Once its working you may want to then compile and install a new bootloader too so that both the bootloader and main build show the same graphic.  If you want to make the graphic display longer, you can probably add a delay loop to apps/main.c after show_logo.
