The issue has been resolved. It is a problem with converting BMP image files to 24 bit true color. It must be converted to 24 bit true color using Microsoft graphics applications, and other applications do not work.
that is 100% not true! and the help in edk2 tells you exactly how to convert it under linux!
No Linux device, thank you
other applications under Windows are perfectly capable of producing a Windows spec BMP - 24-bit with no embedded color space info
