lunch $target_build
eg: lunch android_x86_64-eng
make iso_img -j$ProcessorNum     //for BIOS (legacy)
make iso_img -j$ProcessorNum     //if you build first time, plase build it again

OR

make efi_img -j$ProcessorNum     //for UEFI
make efi_img -j$ProcessorNum     //if you build first time, plase build it again

out directory: out/target/product/

NOTICE: If you download it first time, please make it twice for the correcting img.

${QEMU_PATH}/qemu-system-x86_64 \-enable-kvm \-m 1024 \-serial stdio \-cdrom  ${ANDROID_IMAGE_PATH}/android_x86_64.iso

USB install/run in real machine

You may create a bootable USB disk by


sudo umount your_usb_device(with partition number e.g. /dev/sdc1)
sudo dd if=android_x86_64.img of=your_usb_device（no partition number e.g. /dev/sdc)

Booting your USB disk in UEFI

  2. Enter your PC's boot menu and select your USB disk to boot into UEFI grub.
