PSplash is a tiny userspace graphical boot splash screen for mainly embedded Linux devices supporting a 16bpp or 32bpp framebuffer. It has few dependencies (just libc), supports basic images and text and handles rotation. Its visual look is configurable by basic source changes.

Also included is a ‘client’ command utility for sending information to psplash such as boot progress information.

For more info see the included README file.

PSplash is authored by Matthew Allum. It is free software, available under the GPL.
