Hi Graeme, Julian,
in Om2008.9, the boot screen will get a little face lift as well.
The plan is to just provide the new image and let people DFU it
along with the rest. In case they don't like it, they can keep
whatever is there already.
For reference, the image is here:
https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/1735/boot_image.png
For DFU, we need to convert it into a framebuffer image. I've
described the conversion process here:
https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1735
And I put a copy of the converted image here:

Graeme, Julian, could you please put this Om2008.9.splash.gz
file along with the other Om2008.9 images, i.e., kernel, rootfs,
etc. ?
Will, I don't know who's writing the release notes and install
instructions for Om2008.9. Can you please tell them to include
the following instructions:
# download http://downloads.openmoko.org/releases/Om2008.9/Om2008.9.splash.gz
# (assuming that's where it will be)
dfu-util -a splash -D Om2008.9.splash.gz
Note: this is the basic invocation of dfu-util. If you use more
options with dfu-util than just -a and -D, e.g., -d, they would
apply as well.
When we have a draft for the install instructions and you want
me to review that part for concistency, please let me know.
Thanks,
- Werner
