I need some help with getting a splashscreen up. This is a short deadline,, I am looking to have coreboot boot and show this screen for, say, 5 seconds. I need it working by oct. 20.
What about a Linux splashscreen with Geode framebuffer?
If anyone has pointers on where to start in learning how to set this up, I would appreciate it.
Maybe libpayload can do it, otherwise I'd go for a OS which can use Geode graphics directly (if you want Geode).
It needs to be on real hardware -- I might try it with a DBE62 if I can get one in time, or and ADL board if not.
Any vendor who would like their logo on this splash (if it makes sense) be sure to send me your logo and your permission.

This demo is for a cybersecurity workshop I am going to, various people in the US are realizing now that security concerns extend into the BIOS, and they're also understanding the value of an open source bios. Actually some folks are *very* concerned about what can go on in the BIOS as this point ... I will try to remember to put a recent talk up on the web site next week.
Cool.
