Linux: Smooth splashscreen with system having weston with drm-backend

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear All,

I am looking for an solution to have early smooth splashscreen on the
Linux system with Weston and drm-backend.

I tried showing splashscreen using Linux logo and fbcon Linux features
but it is not smooth as when system boots logo gets displayed via
kernel and as the Weston starts
I see flicker and blackscreen.

Another approach I tried is having standalone drm api based
application [1] which uses the one of the available hardware
plane/overlay for displaying splash image and Weston is
starting and uses default plane which is different from plane utilized
by above application. but still I see flicker and black screen when
Weston starts.

I want splash to be displayed on one of the h/w plane and Weston
should start in background without any flicker and black screen on
some other plane.

Anyone here before achieved such a use case with such system? Looking
for inputs/suggestions/ideas to achieve this. It is ok if something
needs to be hacked/changd at any level (kernel driver, weston).

This is required on platform such as TI (Jacinto) and Intel (Broxton)
or devices based on drm graphics stack.

Thanking you all for your time and inputs in advance.

Thanks & Regards,
Vikash
