custom logo by the following method:


The gumstix-fb-logo.patch is a diff between a custom image and the default Penguin 'logo_linux_clut224.ppm'.

PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW TO CREATE THE PATCH USING diff

This image can be found in (for a Verdex):

gumstix-oe/tmp/work/gumstix-custom-verdex-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/gumstix-kernel-2.6.21-r1/linux-2.6.21/drivers/video/logo


You'll need the original image, so you can perform the following steps to get a pre-patched kernel:


bitbake -c clean gumstix-kernel

bitbake -c unpack gumstix-kernel


After you implement your patch, do:

PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT IS MEANT BY "implement your patch"

bitbake gumstix-kernel


to finish the build.


You can then copy uImage over, and hopefully have a pretty, custom logo.


If the compile fails, it's likely due to a problem with your PPM. In Gimp, you need to set the palette to 224 colors and make sure you save it as ascii.


THIS HOW-TO WILL BE VERY USEFUL IF MORE DETAIL IS ADDED. PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILS!!!
