They are the boot diagnostics (specifically known as the HDMI boot screen) and are issued by the built in firmware before Linux actually starts to boot.

Previously, they where controlled by the disable_splash option in config.txt but that function was deprecated Sept 2020.

They are currently controlled by a flag DISABLE_HDM in the boot loader configuration and currently (as at Dec 2020) have two values

  • '0' - this means show the status on boot
  • '1' - this means the status display is disabled

Note: RPT/RPF reserve the right to use other values in the future (play at your own risk).

To update this value:

  1. Update your system to down load the latest eeprom package (sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo reboot after you have taken a back up.
  2. Start a console session (if you are running the GUI)
  3. Check the current value using the command rpi-eeprom-config (does not need sudo)
  4. Note the value down safely - you may want to return to this value at some point
  5. Use the command sudo -E rpi-eeprom-config --edit to enter the editor (make sure you have the -E after the sudo to maintain the environment.
  6. Make the changes you require
