how to disable psplash screen in yocto

i am struggeling since couple of hours to disable the psplash image in yocto to produce an image for raspberry pi.

I created a bbappend file to remove the splash files, but only the splash.sh was removed correctly, the result like psplash_write is still kept at /usr/bin

The yocto docu states to disable it we need to pass psplash = false to the kernel command line, but how can i pass it .

your help is appreciated, thank you

To disable psplash, reliably, you have to remove "splash" (not psplash) from IMAGE_FEATURES. I was able to remove the psplash on Raspberry Pi 4 and Xavier NX by adding below to my local.conf

IMAGE_FEATURES_remove += "splash"

i found the solution for raspberrypi, in case somebody searches in future

inside meta-raspberrypi/recipes-bsp/rpi-u-boot-scr/files/boot.cmd there is one line to be added before the last line as follows:

setenv bootargs psplash=false

the full file is as follows:

fdt addr ${fdt_addr} && fdt get value bootargs /chosen bootargs

fatload mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} uImage

setenv bootargs psplash=false

bootm ${kernel_addr_r} - ${fdt_addr}

-> there is no need to add any psplash recipies, but there is a drawback, i get in the log umount: can't unmount /mnt/.psplash: Invalid argument, which is another problem from the psplash.sh script.

This error comes from the following patch :enter link description here

this error comes from existance of /usr/bin/psplash-write by removing it manually, the error vanish, but removing it with a recipe edit was not sucessful

You need to modify your image and add:

IMAGE_FEATURE_remove = "psplash"

It will remove psplash from the default IMAGE_FEATURE variable.
