Why not do it even simpler? Drop BMP and generate an image matching the native format of the LCD controller at compile time :-) Not sure if you're serious, but that'd reduce some of the functionality I was expecting to use. Well, it was just a thought that struck me, so I'm not going to claim I considered all the pros and cons. My splashimage is stored in a particular, separate flash partition, and I'm intending to allow end-users to change the boot logo (via a userspace app ?) to customise / personalise the unit as they require (e.g. their own company logo). You can still do this if the userspace app knows how to generate an image in the correct format -- I'm not arguing against storing the image in a separate flash partition or anything like that. I just think it might be possible to reduce the run-time size and complexity of u-boot by being more strict about the image format. You could also add support for PNG, JPEG and any format you want to the userspace app -- this will probably be much easier than adding similar support to u-boot itself. Hard-coding the image would render this impossible. Of course. But hard-coding the image _format_ isn't the same thing. In a way, we're already using a hard-coded image format, but it's one that is easy to generate for the host, not one that's easy to display by the target.

In fact, there's almost a case for adding *even more* #defines to remove the 1bpp and 8bpp code when you've #defined your board to use 16bpp. Another question - do you really need 16bpp bmp? I saw a discussion on this list, that other picture formats should not be added to U-Boot - you can easily convert any format to bmp. Are 256 colours really not enough for you? I used a real photo today as a test image, converted to an 8-bit bmp. It looked well enough on my qvga. And normally you use this lcd code to display a splashscreen, which is usually a computer-generated image, so 256 colours should suffice? Although, I am not an expert in graphical desing. I can understand that 8 bpp doe snot satisfy anoybode with more than just basic graphics needs. Exactly ... in my case, I boot up linux which is also using 16bpp. My aim was to have the bootsplash image displayed by u-boot, and remain *intact* throughtout the linux boot sequence. Switching from 8bpp (in u-boot) to 16bpp (in linux) would cause some nasty screen corruption, and require the image to be re-displayed, which kind of spoils the whole concept of a boot logo. If we really add more bmp formats, we also get more combinations like of bmp / lcd: Not necessarily. We can always request that bitmap images match the natural color depth of the display. It makes no sense to send a 16 bpp image to a 1 bpp display, nor does it vice versa. As far as I understand, U-boot was not written be some fully-fledged OS ... rather to just allow a smooth transition from power-on to real OS. Thus we only need to support some fairly simple combinations of options, but enough to keep the majority happy. I guess up till now, 1bpp and 8bpp have been sufficient.

Is it intentional that you reverse padded_line and width here, i.e.
you are sure it's not

?
