Can't start Cuttlefish for Android 9.0.0_r60, aosp_cf_x86_64_tv-userdebug

[Viacheslav Krenev]

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to emulate AndroidTV 9.0.0 to test some features having access to the framework code. AOSP is built on Ubuntu 20.10 and everything happens on this exact system. 

I was trying two different approaches:

1) I found this article about cuttlefish building and tried to do like them. After making some investigations of what packages exactly I should have installed and installing them, I stuck with:

$ launch_cvd

What this error means remains unclear to me. 

2) The second approach was "official".

So, I cloned the repo, built .deb packages, installed, rebooted, all that stuff.
Then I do source and lunch, in the same terminal I do

$ cvd_docker_create -A -C

To list existing Cuttlefish containers:
  cvd_docker_list

And finally

$ cvd_start_cuttlefish

And I don't speak of errors regarding that kernel and cmdline files were not found. 

So, what exactly am I doing wrong? How do I launch the cuttlefish?
