Optimize your image scan

Updated: April 19, 2023

The IPL normally scans for a valid system image so that it can load that image into RAM.

To reduce scan time, you can modify your IPL to use the the optimized image_*() functions:

These functions take less time to execute than the standard functions because they assume a single bootable image, and they allow you to skip the image validation (see the image_scan(), image_scan_2() and the other image_*() functions in the Building Embedded Systems “API Library” chapter).
