+config BR2_PACKAGE_PSPLASH

+	depends on BR2_USE_WCHAR
+	help
+	  PSplash is a userspace graphical boot splash screen for mainly
+	  embedded Linux devices supporting a 16bpp or 32bpp framebuffer.
+	  It has few dependencies (just libc), supports basic images and
+	  text and handles rotation. Its visual look is configurable by
+	  basic source changes.
+
+	  Also included is a 'client' command utility for sending
+	  information to psplash such as boot progress information.
+
+	  Start the drawing process with 'psplash -n&' as early as possible.
+	  Note: psplash creates a FIFO in /tmp for communication with
+	  psplash-write.
+
+	  Usage:
+	  * Set progress bar to 50 percent:
+	    psplash-write "PROGRESS 50"
+
+	  * Display message "foobar" above progress bar:
+	    psplash-write "MSG foobar"
+
+	  * Terminate psplash:
+	    psplash-write "QUIT"
