Intent: To test OTA package in Emulator

Steps:-

source ./build/envsetup.sh
lunch aosp_arm-eng
make -j24
make target-files-package

./build/tools/releasetools/ota_from_target_files out/target/product/generic/obj/PACKAGING/target_files_intermediates/aosp_arm-target_files-eng.root.zip ota_update_generic.zip
unzipping target target-files...

ERROR: --- target build has specified no recovery ---

I have noticed that recovery.img file is not getting created for target "aosp_arm-eng". Why? It is throwing error while creating OTA package.

For other target like "bullhead_arm-userdebug", I have noticed that recovery.img is getting created and I am able to create ota packages using ota_from_target_files releasetools. But I am unable to run Emulator with blank screen. Why ?

If you just want an ota package, then you can use "make -jN otapackage".

If you want to resign the ota package, then try calling "make -jN dist" before using the release-tools scripts.
