emulator: ERROR: Missing initial data partition file: (null)

[Pierce Wilson]

I just finished building AOSP 7.1.1 (N9F27M) for the Nexus 9. I know it is an "older" OS but I wanted to make sure my build environment worked and to get some experience before I started to attempt to build 8.1 and 7.1.1 is the most recent build for the Nexus 9.

Anyway - build finished no fatal errors, so I want to start the emulator to ensure it will boot before flashing it to my device. I start the emulator and get this error.

$ emulator
emulator: WARNING: system partition size adjusted to match image file (765 MB > 200 MB)

emulator: WARNING: data partition size adjusted to match image file (765 MB > 200 MB)

emulator: WARNING: Increasing RAM size to 1GB
emulator: ERROR: Missing initial data partition file: (null)

Any ideas?
