[U-Boot-Users] Creating a valid bmp file

[Roger Williamson]

Currently I'm attempting to make my u-boot display a splash screen.
Currently, the display dirver is being uncooperative, so I decided to focus
my attention on creating a bitmap image that will be considered acceptable
to the u-boot system.

I've read through the brief descriptions about the bmp command and
transfering data into the flash, but I'm having some issue getting u-boot
to recognize my bitmaps.  All I'm getting out of the system is that "There
is no valid bmp file at the given address."  I know that the address I give
is the address of the bitmap in flash, and I am able to transfer new
bitmaps over to the flash, I am just perplexed on how to create a suitable
bitmap image.  What am I missing.


Thank you,
