An in-kernel bootsplash has been part of the TODO list of the Linux DRM subsystem for quite a long time; some attempts to integrate one have been made in the past, without a successful merge. The talk will present a simple solution that has been recently proposed [0] by the author of the talk itself, the motivation behind the work and why it may be relevant for the embedded field, along with the reviews it received and the open points. But first, a quick detour will be made to present the drm-draw infrastructure and its other in-kernel users.
