Voron Raspberry Pi Boot Screens
Source PSD and images can be found in my GitHub repo! Feel free to reach out to me on Discord (Samwiseg0#4034). I will be happy to customize the serial number on any of the splash screens.
NOTE:
This guide will only work on Raspberry Pi OS LITE images. If you are using FluiddPi or MainsailOS those images will work. The following procedure has been verified on buster and bullseye.
Start by removing all the default screens and also the Raspberry images. Also, disable all the bootup lines.
Edit /boot/config.txt
to remove the color test/rainbow screen.
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Add:
disable_splash=1
Press Ctrl+X, Y for save and Enter to return to the command line.
Edit /boot/cmdline.txt
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
Add the following to the end of the first line
logo.nologo consoleblank=0 loglevel=1 quiet vt.global_cursor_default=0
logo.nologo
- Remove the Raspberry logo.consoleblank=0 loglevel=1 quiet
- Disable the commands and various bits of the kernelvt.global_cursor_default=0
- Removes the blinking cursor before the image loads.
Press Ctrl+X, Y for save and Enter to return to the command line.
Remove the login prompt by running
sudo systemctl disable getty@tty3
Add the new splash screen
To make the image readable install fbi
. fbi
is a frame-buffer image viewer.
Install fbi
sudo apt install fbi
It will take a few seconds to install. After this we have to create a file by
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/splashscreen.service
Add the following:
[Unit]
Description=Splash screen
DefaultDependencies=no
After=local-fs.target
[Service]
#ExecStartPre is to workaround a race condition with bullseye. It can be removed in most cases. If an error appears on the screen that says it "cannot open /dev/fb0" then make sure ExecStartPre is used.
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sleep 2
ExecStart=/usr/bin/fbi -d /dev/fb0 --noverbose -a /home/pi/boot-image.png
StandardInput=tty
StandardOutput=tty
[Install]
WantedBy=sysinit.target
-
-d/dev/fb0
- Tellsfbi
which framebuffer to use for displaying -
--noverbose
- Suppressesfbi
‘status bar’ at the bottom. -
-a
- If the selected image is in the proper measurements then no editing is required; if not, then “-a” will act as editor. -
StandardInput
/StandardOutput
- Allowsfbi
get access to tty. -
DefaultDependencies
- will override the systemd’s default behavior. -
fbi
will be loaded in the boot process whenWantedBy
is accessed, not before the file system (and hence image) are ready, through theAfter
option.
Place the image on the Pi and name it boot-image.png
. The image should live in the main home directory for the pi
user. The full path for the image is /home/pi/boot-image.png
You may use another name but you must change it in the systemd file above.
You can find a basic guide on how to connect to the Pi and transfer a file here. Note that when you connect to your Pi via any of these methods the default location is /home/pi/
. You should be able to just drop the file into the default directory after connecting.
Enable the service by running
sudo systemctl enable splashscreen
Now reboot the Raspberry Pi and verify your image by
sudo reboot
fin.
