+- Spash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
+
+                If this option is set, the environment is checked for
+                a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
+                of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
+                is supressed and the BMP image at the address
+                specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
+                console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
+                allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
+                loaded very quickly after power-on.
