Hello!
It seems you’re having trouble with your custom Plymouth boot animation not displaying on your Toradex device. Let’s go through some steps to help you troubleshoot this issue:
-
Verify Installation Paths: Double-check that the paths in your
.plymouthfile correctly point to the locations of your images and script on the device. -
Set the Default Theme: Ensure your theme is set as the default by running
plymouth-set-default-theme pixii --rebuild-initrd. This command sets your theme and rebuilds the initial ramdisk, which is crucial for the changes to take effect. -
Manual Testing: Try starting Plymouth manually with
plymouthd; plymouth --show-splash. This can help determine if the issue lies with the theme or the boot process. -
Review Script Logic: Check your script for any logical errors, especially in the loop and callback functions that handle image sequences and opacity.
-
DRM Support: Ensure your device supports DRM modesetting drivers, as Plymouth requires these to function properly.
-
Check Logs: Look at system logs for any Plymouth-related errors. Logs can provide valuable insights into what might be going wrong.
-
Rebuild and Deploy: After making any changes, rebuild the initramfs and deploy the updated image to your device.
By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with your Plymouth boot animation. If the problem persists, consider simplifying the theme to a static image to verify basic functionality before reintroducing the full animation.
