I just noticed that simplefb wouldn't work with i.MX6 anyway, even if
I adapt it.
When I setup the framebuffer from barebox and display a splash and
then boot into Linux, then my framebuffer vanishes. Even when I don't
have simplefb or ipu enabled.
I think (!) the reason is the clock
Whaaa, it never occured to me that I have to enable the framebuffer as
well... thanks, now it works.
As for simplefb, I removed that. I thought that this sets up a
framebuffer in the bootloader, which when Linux' framebuffer driver
takes over, without reprogramm or screen flicker. However, it

barebox has nothing useful to show on the screen until some splash
command has been executed, so it's better to leave the
My preferred solution is to be fast enough in the bootloader
and show a splash screen under Linux only.
Hmm, I'd like to not do that. Splash screen from Linux usually means
that I need an initrd. And an initrd is seldom needed on an embedded
device (i.e. no complicated RAID or DM setup). And it

Hi, I'm a bit puzzled. I compiled my barebox with
CONFIG_CMD_SPLASH=y
CONFIG_VIDEO=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_VIDEO_IMX_IPUV3=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_VIDEO_IMX_IPUV3_LVDS=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_VIDEO_SIMPLEFB=y
and some entries in the device tree about it (see below). And when I
boot barebox, I see /dev/fb0.
However,
