I've never used mx53loco board, also I never used a hannstar
display. The proper support for it is missing in U-Boot.

Also please restrict the line length in the email text to max. 72
characters and do not top post. Thanks!

Did you set "panel" environment variable to "Hannstar-XGA"
and saved the environment ? You are adding a check for it in the
board code, you also have to set this variable and save it to
the environment, then you have to reset the board so the new
setting will take effect.

Why do you add CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_LVDS here ?
This configuration option is not available anywhere,
at least in mainline U-Boot code.

Your extensions are not enough, I'm afraid. You probably also have
to configure the pin mux for LVDS interface, enable the backlight
of the display, configure the backlight intensity, etc. I'm not
familiar with mx53loco, I cannot guide you what is all needed
to make video support over LVDS working. Please read the schematics
of the board and mx53 manual and make sure you understand what
is needed to configure LVDS interface and backlight properly.
Then add appropriate code.

Why are you trying to load the bmp file from network then?
Do you have a working tftp server for this purpose?

If you have the bmp files on the SD-card, then you have
to use appropriate commands to load files from the card,
like "mmc rescan", "fatload mmc 0:0 <addr> <filename.bmp>"
or similar. Only after the file has been successfully loaded
to the address <addr>, you can use "bmp display <addr>"
command.

Thanks,

Anatolij
