**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Dec 28 02:59:57 2019 Dec 28 10:49:29 Hello there! I'm trying to test yocto a bit by adding a boot splash screen to core-image-minimal. I therefore added " psplash" as described but I noticed the following error "/dev/fb0 file not found". The framebuffer is not ready.. okay I need to add the required module.. I read in the manual the followings: Dec 28 10:49:43 "The v86d/uvesafb has been removed from the genericx86 and genericx86-64 reference machines, which are provided by the meta-yocto-bsp layer. Most modern x86 boards do not rely on this file and it only adds kernel error messages during startup. If you do still need to support uvesafb, you can simply add v86d to your image." Dec 28 10:51:11 question: what does "simply add" mean ? I tried IMAGE_INSTALL_append/DISTRO_FEATURES_append in local.conf with no luck.. Dec 28 15:28:12 PaowZ: stupid as it may sound, splash has its complications. for gettings tarted its not exactly a perfectly suited subject. Dec 28 15:29:33 LetoThe2nd: I got the bad feeling it is somewhat related to the hardware you put your test on.. Dec 28 15:30:00 PaowZ: it is Dec 28 15:30:45 there are certainly easier topics to get started on Dec 28 15:33:07 I took it from the boot kernel loading, telling myself x86-64 stuff should be pretty well usable through VirtualBox.. Dec 28 15:35:20 PaowZ: you're generally much better off sticking to the included runqemu magic, unless you have specific needs to use vbox Dec 28 15:36:59 LetoThe2nd: interesting.. does it mean what I valid upon qemu platform would seamlessly work with x86-64 platform ? Dec 28 15:37:26 I tried generic-x64 platform. Dec 28 15:38:17 PaowZ: it shouldn't be that much of a problem. i'm no x86 guy, but you've got a good chance it works, I'd say. Dec 28 15:44:39 hm.. ok.. so I gotta test my stuff with qemux-64 platform and then swith to generic-64 when deploying.. Dec 28 15:46:02 that would be my advice. should have a considerably shorter round trip. Dec 28 15:49:39 ok.. I gonna stick with qemu testing, then.. Dec 28 15:59:13 its the old conccept of tackling one problem at a time. Dec 28 16:00:31 once it works in qemu, which is a known good platform, do the jump to your target. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Dec 29 03:00:00 2019
