Creating and Loading a Splash Screen

To generate a custom splash screen, use a bitmap editor, such as Paintbrush.
1. Create a 256-color bitmap with dimensions of BX x BY where:
• BX is less than or equal to 240 pixels
• BY is less than or equal to 320 pixels
2. Be sure to create the file with 256 colors. IPL will not load if the file is not created
correctly.
3. After designing the splash screen, rotate the bitmap 90 degrees clockwise.
4. Save the file as a 256-color bitmap.
5. Use TCM to convert the bitmap image file to a hex file (see
page 12-10).
The size of a partition must be an integral multiple of the
FFSSectorSizeInBytes specified by the .ini file. When the user enters a
partition size, TCM rounds up to the next highest integral multiple of the
sector size and displays this value in the partition table grid. This error
check is made upon value entry, independent of the Execute button.
If the required size of the binary image file is larger than the associated
partition size, the Partition Size cell in the partition grid turns red to
highlight the error. The Required Size cell indicates the actual size
required.
If the total memory allocated to the 3 FFS partitions is greater than the
total Flash Memory on the terminal, the Used FFS Memory display box
turns red. Decrease the size of one or more of the partitions, then
recheck the configuration using the Execute button.
If the directory paths specified by the Source and Destination cells do
not exist, the cell containing the non-existent path turns red to highlight
the error.
