Optimize your image scan

This scan assumes that there may be more than one bootable image, and looks for the most recent image.

To reduce scan time, you can modify your IPL as follows:

• If you know where in the image you need is located, scan only a small range in that area (e.g., 256 or 512) bytes.
• Set the image_scan() docksum argument to 0, to skip the image authentication.

For more information about these functions, see image_scan(), image_scan_ext() in the Building Embedded Systems API Library chapter.
