Hello!

I understand you’re encountering an issue where the Plymouth splash screen appears late and only briefly during the boot process. This can indeed be frustrating, but there are several steps you can take to address this:

  1. Check DRM Modesetting Drivers: Ensure your system is using the correct DRM modesetting drivers, as Plymouth relies on these to set the display mode early in the boot process. Incorrectly loaded drivers can delay the splash screen.

  2. Plymouth Configuration: Review your Plymouth configuration files to ensure it starts as early as possible. Check your initramfs configuration to confirm Plymouth is included and properly set up.

  3. Kernel Parameters: Examine your kernel boot parameters. Parameters like quiet or splash should be correctly set to ensure Plymouth starts early and suppresses boot messages.

  4. Custom Splash Screen: If you’re using a custom splash screen, verify that it is correctly integrated into your system image. Ensure your custom theme is compatible and properly configured.

  5. Logs and Debugging: Look at system logs for any errors related to Plymouth or display drivers. These logs can provide insights into potential causes of the delay.

By following these steps, you should be able to improve the timing of the Plymouth splash screen during the boot process. If you’re customizing your splash screen using Yocto, make sure all dependencies and configurations are correctly set up for a smooth boot experience.

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
