Hello ,
I added the Plymouth recipe to enable an animated splash screen during boot. The themes are correctly installed and visible in /usr/lib/plymouth/themes/, but no animation appears during startup — only the login prompt is shown. After modifying the bootargs to include quiet splash plymouth.enable=1, the default splash screen appears, but the animation is still missing. Could you please help me resolve this issue?
/usr/lib/plymouth/themes/
bootargs
quiet splash plymouth.enable=1
Thank you.
Hii Harsha ,
I haven’t tried this myself, but you could select your custom theme as the system default by running update-alternatives --config default.plymouth and choosing your theme from the list . After that, rebuild the initramfs so your theme is included early in the boot process with update-initramfs -u . Make sure you’ve removed any nomodeset parameter from your kernel command line so Plymouth can use KMS or a framebuffer, and confirm your bootargs include quiet splash vt.handoff=7 so the kernel hands off the display to Plymouth smoothly. Finally, reboot and you should see your animated splash instead of the default screen.
update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
update-initramfs -u
nomodeset
quiet splash vt.handoff=7

I am using yocto on rzg2l and there is no initramfs. I have tried with plymouth-set-default-theme and bootargs as mentioned 'quiet splash ...' then I can see only the default splash screen. Then I have tried to check early-splash image by following https://confluence.renesas.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=173180606#Kernel-EarlySplashScreeninLinux even it is not showing up.
