Hi Dan,

Thanks for the reply. I got another related issue and hope that you can 
solve it as well. If I tried to build from x86-64 machine for arm target, 
the output folder does not have qemu files that the emulator needs such as 
ramdisk-qemu.img.

*Download and build code*
repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b 
android-11.0.0_r35
repo sync -c -j4
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch *aosp_arm-eng*
m -j4

After build success, in the out/target/product/generic_arm64 directory, it 
does not have ramdisk-qemu.img. 

When I build for x86-64 target such as aosp_x86_64-eng, the output 
directory will have the required qemu image for me to run the emulator.

*Command to run the x86-64 emulator without running envsetup.sh*
export ANDROID_BUILD_TOP=/home/user/android
export 
ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT=/home/user/android/out/target/product/generic_x86_64
cd /home/user/android/out/target/product/generic_x86_64
/home/user/android/prebuilts/android-emulator/linux-x86_64/emulator 
-verbose -show-kernel -sysdir system/ -datadir data/ -kernel kernel-ranchu 
-ramdisk ramdisk-qemu.img -system system.img -initdata userdata.img -cache 
cache.img -vendor vendor.img 

Am I missing something when building the arm target on x86-64 machine? I 
think that it should be possible to run the arm64 aosp android using the 
arm64 emulator on an arm64 host if I have the right files generated during 
Android building process.

*Emulator for ARM64 hosts (I followed the instruction here to build the 
emulator for arm64 host, since the prebuilt android emulator only support 
x86-64 host)*

Thanks
