    I want to display a custom boot splash image on my Beaglebone Black (running Ångström).

    I know of three places where images can be dumped to the framebuffer:

    I want to avoid changing the bootloader if possible. I tried creating a userspace service, but systemd starts late in the boot process, leaving about 2secs of Mr. Tux and only about 1 sec showing my splash screen before I got to the login prompt.

    Is there a way to replace the penguin with a custom splash screen (ideally without touching the bootloader or patching the kernel)?

    Thanks! I was hoping there was an easier way (kernel args, etc), but it appears not.

    Both links are no good. Suman's world article is no longer available and the tool recommended in the other link fblogo; the link they use for downloading it is no longer available as well. May need to update your answer.
