Boot Logo for V2 Pinecil #1373

Closed River-Mochi closed 7 months ago

River-Mochi commented 2 years ago

A motivated member of Pincil chat really wants to get custom boot logo on V2. They are willing to do research and leg work and experiment.

Any and all resources/links/ advice so they could experiment with this themselves?

Or should they just wait for the official write-up on how to flash?

thanks

any progress with this? i'm guessing you can't just use blisp on windows with the [hex] boot logo file then?

not yet, another place for Boot logo question might be Blisp github - the flasher. https://github.com/pine64/blisp

I started a branch on blisp to support DFU files to let us do this but its not yet complete. IronOS and IronOS Meta side this is practically done. Its just I need to do the blisp side support for DFU files.

Literally unusable without this feature. While blisp part is getting implemented, as a workaround is it possible to build a firmware image with the boot logo embedded?

this gave me a good chuckle while having my coffee. Art is indeed more important for some than soldering :)

I commented on an issue in the IronOS-Meta repository, I suggest a workaround which does allow you to use your own logo by compiling it into the cpp codebase and flashing that.

See my comment there: https://github.com/Ralim/IronOS-Meta/issues/32

We're using extensively the logo feature to know which iron belongs to who, when we bring multiple ones at soldering villages or hardware CTFs... This feature is more than art ;)

@doegox oh this is indeed good usage.... I will check out what we can do :)

Updating on this: Three parts are needed for this to work:

  1. IronOS support for reading the logo

  2. IronOS-Meta support for generating the .dfu file

  3. blisp supporting burning .dfu files

  4. Done as of 80c4b58976268849b6d1c8d38df60ac5a547f5c3 (Had a few bugs to Iron out)

  5. Done -> https://github.com/Ralim/IronOS-Meta/releases/tag/latest

  6. Done except for Windows support (WIP now) -> https://github.com/pine64/blisp/pull/45

If your on OSX or Linux and happy to build blisp yourself, then logos should be fully working. Or hold tight for the prebuilds once we sort Windows out.

This was already released in 2.22 and pineflash and blisp support flashing the .dfu files that IronOS-meta can produce.
