Show splash screen instantly after system is powered

I would like to execute a command instantly after system is powered. My project is realized in an embedded Linux environment (Yocto-based, with U-boot bootloader), therefore I would like to show a splash screen -almost instantly after powered- on a framebuffer, which involves: - Initializing display driver (modprobe command) - Export an environment variable (to set up framebuffer for QT) - Displaying a picture on the screen (QT app)(or any more viable suggestion?) Now, I know psplash helps to display some logo in the boot screen, but that is not what I'm trying to accomplish. What I want is to show this image on a framebuffer (and not on the display that X11 is connected to) whilst the bootloader is loading. I already have an initscript recipe in Yocto which accomplishes setting up my main application using update-rc.d myapp 10 90 defaults. However, this happens after boot, naturally. Is there any way to simply do what I'm trying to accomplish here? Any help is greatly appreciated. I have a TFT display which I want to run with framebuffer, I don't have another display but X11 is forwarded to HDMI, so I can make use of that in the future. However, I want to display splash screen on TFT with framebuffer, then run my app on it. Nothing with the other display. Guidance on running u-boot splash screen / psplash on framebuffer is also appreciated.
