Hi,
No reply in days, but I found the solution. Posting it for any one needing
this information in the future.
Here are the steps needed to be followed for setting up plymouth on
beaglebone black running debian or ubuntu:
Step 1) Install Plymouth-DRM.
# apt-get install plymouth-drm
Step 2) Select a theme for boot splash.
# plymouth-set-default-theme --list # this lists
the available themes for plymouth
# plymouth-set-default-theme joy
Step 3) Update initramfs
# update-initramfs -u
Step 4) Copy the newly created initrd.img file to /boot/uboot folder
# cp /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) /boot/uboot/
Step 5) Update the initrd file name in the /boot/uboot/uEnv.txt
#initrd_file=initrd.img
initrd_file=initrd.img-3.8.13-bone47
Step 6) enable splash support by adding the following to
/boot/uboot/uEnv.txt.
# Place this at the bottom of the last line starting with optargs
optargs=splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles ${optargs}
just restart your beaglebone, and it will work.
Hope this will be helpful for someone.
