Well, it happens if for each maintained board there is a corresponding logo and all logos should be maintain in U-Boot repository - that is quite a mess. Logos has nothing to do with U-Boot development - they are blob data. The fact that they are linked together with U-Boot looks easy, but I do not think it is elegant. Splash images are loaded on demand by u-boot code from a storage - this is IMHO a better solution. > >> and we cannot merge in mainline tons of images - they have nothing to do >> with u-boot sources. > > Storing graphics that are part of a program in the program's repository > is a > common practice, why should U-Boot be different? Maybe due to the number of boards, and if each board wants to have its own logo. If all boards share the same logo I would not see any problem at all. >> Why is not enough for you to use the splash screen functionality ?

Added Anatolji to CC - we could let the question in background for the future. Maybe could we have a logo_load_image() near splash_load_from_*() ?
