I don't think this is acceptable. You probably should add a host-imagemagick package, and make the linux package depend on it when a custom logo is selected. In addition, when a custom logo is selected, you probably want to tweak the Linux kernel configuration to make sure it has the relevant options. Thanks!

Agreed. Just make the logo path an option directly here: config BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_CUSTOMLOGO bool "Custom logo" config BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_CUSTOMLOGO_DIR bool "directory with logo file(s)" help Directory with all the logo files to copy. Logo files must be named: logo_linux_mono.pbm for the B&W version logo_linux_vga16.ppm for the 16-color version logo_linux_clut224.ppm for the 224-color version And then, in the .mk file (see below)... > > + bool "Custom logo" > > + help > > + change linux boot logo with your own graphics. > > + Can be used as an early bootsplash. > > This help text needs to be improved a bit. > > > + > > # Xenomai > > config BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_XENOMAI > > bool "Adeos/Xenomai Real-time patch" > > diff --git a/linux/linux-ext-customlogo.mk b/linux/linux-ext-customlogo.mk > > new file mode 100644 > > index 0000000..68c613a > > --- /dev/null > > +++ b/linux/linux-ext-customlogo.mk > > @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ > > +################################################################################ > > +# > > +# Custom logo > > +# > > +################################################################################ > > + > > +LINUX_EXTENSIONS += customlogo > > + > > +define CUSTOMLOGO_PREPARE_KERNEL > > You can do the conversion from the original image format to .ppm here > directly, and therefore avoid the need for the customlogo package.

Or do we care? A little recap: a) I should rework the custom logo package and logic, no problem here. b) Relaying on user pre-installed imagemagick it's not allowed by buildroot policies but I don't want to build the complete host-imagemagick only for converting a ppm. c) IMHO, the complex part here is to convert correctly an image to a kernel suitable ppm (not so trivial): let a user preparing his own ppm it's not advisable and prone to errors. So if b) and c) are not acceptable for buildroot policies, please discard this patch. Sincerely, Angelo > > Regards, > Yann E.

I realize this is late feedback, but I actually found your patch useful, so I'd lobby to not abandon it. In my use, I had to remove the imagemagick call since it wasn't right for my image (a pbm), but the rest was convenient. It beat what I previously was doing which was turning the pbm into a kernel patch. Regards, Frank ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
