+When TI's original version of small B&W UI firmware boots or shuts down, the
+splash screen it displays consists of a 56x38 pixel B&W TI logo centered in the
+middle of the LCD.  (Back when this code was owned by Condat rather than TI,
+this splash screen was an animated Condat logo of approximately the same size -
+it is still present in the code, conditioned out.)  Because we are FreeCalypso
+and not TI or Condat, we need our own logo or at least our own splash screen to
+replace those other company logos.
+
+A bona fide FreeCalypso logo does not exist yet as of this writing (2021-03),
+and while we (Falconia family that owns FC) do have some logo ideas in the
+works, the 96x64 pixel B&W (1bpp) framebuffer in the FreeCalypso Lite config is
+far too limited compared to other media - hence we are currently going for a
+simple splash screen that merely consists of the words "FreeCalypso Lite".
+
+The current version of our minimal-effort splash screen is 80x30 pixels, to be
+centered in the middle of the 96x64 pixel LCD.  The bitmap drawing is given in
+bwsplash.pbm, which is a Plain PBM file, making the pixel image directly
+viewable and editable in vi.
