[U-Boot-Users] Uboot Splash Screen

[Roger Williamson]

Clemens,

      The company we got he board from has become increasingly unhelpful,
so I figured I'd contact the U-boot people since you are 1) bound to be
more helpful, 2) have to be faster than a 1 week turn around time and 3)
actually created this particular technology.

      Thank you for your advice.  I finally have the datasheet for the LCD
screen, so I'll be modifiying the configuration for a little while.  So it
looks like a clocking issue.  That seems resonable.

      As far as that notice goes... I didn't intentionally put that there,
it must be my company trying to dodge any inferred responsibilty in this
email, I'll try and remove it if I can.

Did you contact them already?

Generally yes. But that doesn't necessarily mean that this will solve your
current problem.

The TFT Displays I've seen fade slowly their colors and settle with
some line or block artefacts or flash when they are not clocked properly.
If you let them that way for some time (several hours) the liquid
crystal stuff gets polarized (or whatever effect that is) and the stripes
will stay forever. Check that the clocking fits to the datasheet.

Remove that crap, when posting to public lists.
