Splashy itself only requires that your kernel has framebuffer support  (like
vesafb). You will also need fbcon (modinfo fbcon). After that, you can copy
Splashy and it's libraries to your image and then execute it from linuxrc
like:

/sbin/splashy boot

That's all. Splashy is just an application.

Now, after that, you will need to send Splashy information about the boot
process. For this you will need /sbin/splashy_update "progress 10" (for 10%.
100 for 100%, etc...)
That means that you will need to write scrips to call splashy_update and
send progress "steps" accordingly.

Easy.

For more information, check out the files HACKING and README from Splashy's
git repository.
