cat <pngfile> > /dev/fb0

I can see the LCD output changed. But the picture can't display correctly.
It seems the frame buffer can work although the picture display
uncorrect(resolution problem maybe). Any idea?

Thank!

<div>Hi Luis,</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for your valuable input first.</div>
<div>I got below error when I run &quot;splashy test&quot;:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div># Splashy ERROR: Couldn&#39;t splashy_start_splashy(). Error -3</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>From the FAQ, it seems the frame buffer problem. I test the frame buff=
er with:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>cat &lt;pngfile&gt; &gt; /dev/fb0</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I can see the LCD output changed. But the picture can&#39;t display co=
rrectly. It seems the frame buffer can work although the picture display un=
correct(resolution problem maybe). Any idea?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
