Comment(by werner):

 So you want a means to replace the splash screen image on the devices in
 the
 field ? For this, you need to convert the PNG file to a compressed raw
 frame
 buffer content and then flash this into the splash screen partition.

 For the conversion, go to svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/host/splash/ and run
 ./splashimg.pl boot_image.png | gzip -9 >new_splash.gz

 If your update process runs under Linux (OE package ?) you'd then execute
 the following commands:

 flash_eraseall /dev/mtd4
 nandwrite -p /dev/mtd4 new_splash.gz

 If you update through DFU, you would:

 dfu-util -a splash -R -D new_splash.gz

 Note that there's also a copy of the image in the package the factory
 uses.
 You'll want to change that one as well.

 Note the NOR also contains a copy of the splash screen. If you generate a
 new NOR image with "mknor", just specify the new image with -s
 boot_image.png,
 and it will put the "openmoko" text near the bottom of the screen.
