1). 简介
嵌入式 Linux 下传统实现 Splash Screen 的方式是通过替换 kernel 默认的 TUX 小企鹅 logo 为定制的开机画面图片来实现嵌入式设备开机图片，虽然比较成熟且可以保证开机画面加载比较早，但是存在的问题首先是对嵌入式设备不同显示接口的兼容性不好，另外每次修改适配都需要重新编译内核，维护起来不是很方便，然后就是只能支持静态图片无法支持动画。基于上述原因，使用专门的 Splash Screen 工具来实现开机画面逐渐成为嵌入式设备的主流方向，本文就简单演示使用 Plymouth 工具来实现动态开机画面的示例。
本文所演示的平台来自于Toradex Verdin iMX8MM 嵌入式平台，基于 NXP iMX8M Mini 系列 ARM 处理器，主要核心架构为 Cortex-A53 。
2). 硬件准备
a). Verdin iMX8MM ARM 核心版配合 Dahlia 载板，并通过 DSI-LVDS Adapter 连接 10inch LVDS 液晶显示屏以及调试串口以便测试。
3). 关于 Plymouth
a). Plymouth 是一个实现 Linux 启动过程中开机画面的工具软件，其启动的时间非常早，通过 initramfs 帮助可以在 Linux 内核加载同时启动，甚至要早于 Linux rootfs 文件系统挂载。Plymouth 可以方便的实现开关机图片或者动画。
b). 关于 Plymouth 更多详细介绍以及源代码请自行参考如下资料。
./ Plymouth 官方页面
./ Plymouth 源代码
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth
./ Plymouth 深入配置使用说明
4). 通过 Ycoto 环境配置 Plymouth 并编译 Ycoto Linux BSP Image
a). 配置 Ycoto Project 编译环境
./ 参考这里配置基本的 Ycoto Project 编译环境
Build a Reference Image with Yocto Project/OpenEmbedded | Toradex Developer Center
./ 参考如下文章配置定制化 layer
通过Yocto Project定制嵌入式Yocto Linux镜像
b). 在定制化 layer meta-customer-demos 下面添加 layer 配置文件
---------------------------------------
$ mkdir -p ../oe_core/layers/meta-customer-demos/conf
$ cd .../oe_core/layers/meta-customer-demos/conf
### create layer.conf file ###
# We have a conf and classes directory, append to BBPATH
BBPATH .= ":${LAYERDIR}"
# We have recipes-* directories, add to BBFILES
BBFILES += "${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bb ${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bbappend"
BBFILE_COLLECTIONS += "customer-demos"
BBFILE_PATTERN_customer-demos = "^${LAYERDIR}/"
BBFILE_PRIORITY_customer-demos = "24"
# Let us add layer-specific bbappends which are only applied when that
# layer is included in our configuration
BBFILES += "${@' '.join('${LAYERDIR}/%s/recipes*/*/*.bbappend' % layer \
for layer in BBFILE_COLLECTIONS.split())}"
# Add layer-specific bb files too
BBFILES += "${@' '.join('${LAYERDIR}/%s/recipes*/*/*.bb' % layer \
for layer in BBFILE_COLLECTIONS.split())}"
LAYERDEPENDS_customer-demos = " \
core \
yocto \
openembedded-layer gnome-layer multimedia-layer networking-layer \
"
LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_customer-demos = "hardknott honister kirkstone"
---------------------------------------
c). 在定制化 layer meta-customer-demos 下面添加 Plymouth 相关配置文件
./ 增加 Plymouth bb file
---------------------------------------
$ cd .../oe_core/layers/meta-customer-demos/
$ mkdir -p recipes-core/plymouth
$ cd recipes-core/plymouth
### cteate plymouth_%.bbappend file ###
FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SRC_URI += " \
file://toradexlogo-white.png \
file://spinner.plymouth \
"
PACKAGECONFIG = "pango drm"
EXTRA_OECONF += "--with-udev --with-runtimedir=/run"
do_install:append () {
install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/toradexlogo-white.png ${D}${datadir}/plymouth/themes/spinner/watermark.png
install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/spinner.plymouth ${D}${datadir}/plymouth/themes/spinner/spinner.plymouth
}
---------------------------------------
./ 添加 Plymouth 使用的 theme 文件 和 background logo 图片文件，这里使用的是一个配合屏幕分辨率的白色背景图片，因此 spinner 图标会被遮盖，实际使用可以根据需要修改图片文件和 theme 配置。
---------------------------------------
$ mkdir files
$ cp .../toradexlogo-white.png files
$ cd files
### cteate spinner theme file spinner.plymouth ###

---------------------------------------
d). 由于 Plymouth 是文件系统组件，通过 Linux kernel 加载完成后在使能systemd 来启动，这样就会导致比较大的延迟；为了尽可能使 Plymouth 在系统启动过程中尽早启动，可以添加包含 Plymouth 的 Initramfs 镜像使得 Plymouth 在 Linux Kernel 加载过程中即同步启动了。
./ 添加 Initramfs bb 定义以及相关文件，对应需要 files 目录下的相关文件请参考这里
---------------------------------------
$ cd .../oe_core/layers/meta-customer-demos/recipes-core
$ mkdir -p initramfs-framework/files
$ cd initramfs-framework
### cteate initramfs-framework_1.0.bbappend file ###
FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SRC_URI += "\

}
# Adding modules so plymouth can show the splash screen during boot
SRC_URI:append:mx8-nxp-bsp = " file://50-imx8-graphics.conf"

install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/50-imx8-graphics.conf ${D}/etc/modules-load.d/50-imx8-graphics.conf
}
---------------------------------------
./ 添加 initramfs image 定义文件
---------------------------------------
$ cd .../oe_core/layers/meta-customer-demos/recipes-core
$ mkdir images
$ cd images
### cteate initramfs-plymouth-splash-image.bb file ###
DESCRIPTION = "Toradex plymouth splash demo initramfs image"
PACKAGE_INSTALL = "initramfs-framework-base initramfs-module-udev \

# globally. Since this is a initramfs, we don't want to make it bigger
IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE = "0"
IMAGE_OVERHEAD_FACTOR = "1.0"
BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS += "busybox-syslog"
---------------------------------------
e). 由于增加了 initramfs image，就需要修改 distroboot 启动文件 boot.scr 来调整启动进程，这里通过修改 u-boot-distro-boot 文件来适配，对应的 files 目录下的文件完整内容请参考这里
---------------------------------------
$ cd .../oe_core/layers/meta-customer-demos/
$ mkdir -p recipes-bsp/u-boot/files
$ cd recipes-bsp/u-boot
### cteate u-boot-distro-boot.bbappend file ###
FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
SRC_URI:append = " \
file://boot.cmd.in \
"
---------------------------------------
f). 另外，对于 Verdin iMX8M Mini，由于显示部分是通过 DSI-LVDS Bridge 来实现的，为了使得在 initramfs 阶段就可以加载相关驱动，需要修改 Linux Kernel 配置，而对于其他 iMX8/iMX8X/iMX8MP 如果是原生 LVDS/HDMI 接口则无需修改。
---------------------------------------
$ cd .../oe_core/layers/meta-customer-demos/
$ mkdir -p recipes-kernel/linux/files
$ cd recipes-kernel/linux
### cteate linux-toradex%.bbappend file ###
FILESEXTRAPATHS:prepend := "${THISDIR}/files:"
# Prevent the use of in-tree defconfig
unset KBUILD_DEFCONFIG
SRC_URI += "\
file://defconfig \
"
---------------------------------------
./ files 目录下的完整 defconfig 文件请见这里，主要修改了如下几个驱动的配置
---------------------------------------
-CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_LVDS=m
+CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_LVDS=y
-CONFIG_DRM_SEC_MIPI_DSIM=m
+CONFIG_DRM_SEC_MIPI_DSIM=y
-CONFIG_DRM_TI_SN65DSI83=m
+CONFIG_DRM_TI_SN65DSI83=y
-CONFIG_DRM_IMX_SEC_DSIM=m
+CONFIG_DRM_IMX_SEC_DSIM=y
---------------------------------------
g). 最后配置完成的 meta-customer-demos 文件结构如下
---------------------------------------

h). 为了将 initramfs 集成到编译生成的 Image 压缩包内，需要修改如下 image_type 配置文件
---------------------------------------

+++ b/layers/meta-toradex-bsp-common/classes/image_type_tezi.bbclass

---------------------------------------

j). 修改 build/conf/local.conf 文件，增加 Plymouth 和 initramfs 相关定义
---------------------------------------
# add plymouth support
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "plymouth"
INITRAMFS_IMAGE = "initramfs-plymouth-splash-image"
INITRAMFS_FSTYPES = "cpio.gz"
---------------------------------------
k). 重新编译生成 Ycoto Linux BSP Image
---------------------------------------
$ MACHINE="verdin-imx8mm" PARALLEL_MAKE="-j 4" BB_NUMBER_THREADS="4" bitbake tdx-reference-multimedia-image
---------------------------------------
l). 参考这里的说明将上述修改下重新编译生成的 Ycoto Linux Image 通过 Toradex Easy Installer 更新到 Verdin iMX8MM 模块。
5). Plymouth Splash 部署测试
a). 安装好上述编译的 Image 后，参考这里说明配置合适的 Device-tree Overlay 文件来适配屏幕；然后配置如下 U-boot 环境变量来显示 Splash，且缩短加载时间
---------------------------------------
# setenv tdxargs ‘quiet logo.nologo vt.global_cursor_default=0 plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles splash fbcon=map:3’
# setenv bootdelay 0
# saveenv && reset
---------------------------------------
b). 为了保证 Plymouth Splash和 Qt Demo App切换更自然，且中间不会被 Weston Desktop 中断，需要修改一下一些 Systemd Service 文件
---------------------------------------

b). 最后部署完成的测试效果如下，实测从开机到出现 Splash 画面大约5秒，另外 Plymouth splash 默认除了支持开机画面，在 reboot 重启和 poweroff 关机的时候也会同样显示 splash 画面
动画演示如下
6). 总结
本文基于嵌入式 Linux 简单演示了 Plymouth splash 开机画面的部署和测试。
