Greetings,

Although there are video commands for u-boot, they require framebuffer
drivers to be written for them.
No drivers have been written for DM644x as of yet.

Trust me when I say that going to the U-boot mailing list and asking
someone to do it for you would
be not very well accepted at all... you'll get the 'if you need it then
write it and submit patch' answer.

You can keep checking the git tree in hopes that someone will post it and
have it accepted,
or you can hit the datasheets and setup the minimum required registers to
be able to write
a rgb16 bitmap to a memory location.

It's more work tracking down the register sets than actually writing the
code.
Just stick it in the board init in u-boot and zero out the memory before
activating it.

Note that when the linux framebuffer driver kicks in, your image may
disappear.
Also, the DM644x chips can't assign any framebuffer memory over 128MB mark,
so keep it before 0x88000000.

U-Boot git tree:

Regards,
David
