Startup-Program: Which parts are checksumed?

Recommendation

________________________________________________________________________

If we look at the image_scan routine in ipl/lib, we normally do 2 checksum, one is for the startup, and then for the image, which should include the whole ifs-startup.

Being said that, some bsp-user might actually skip this step to not do chksum.

if (checksum (start, startup_hdr.startup_size) != 0){
continue;
}

if (checksum (start+startup_hdr.startup_size,
startup_hdr.stored_size-startup_hdr.startup_size) != 0)

continue;
