# cvd2img
A tool to transform Android Cuttlefish images into raw disk images that can be
used with QEMU (and other VMMs).
## Building
### Dependencies
- **parted** headers and libraries (libparted-dev in Debian, parted-devel in Fedora)
- **clang** headers and libraries (libclang-dev in Debian, clang-devel in Fedora)
- The Rust Toolchain
### Generating the executable
With all dependencies in place, it should be as simple as running `cargo build`.
The resulting binary will be in `./target/debug/cvd2img`.
## Using
### Preparing the Cuttlefish Directory
1. Download a cuttlefish image from
[http://ci.android.com/](http://ci.android.com/). If you don't exactly what to
download, read [this guide](https://source.android.com/docs/setup/create/cuttlefish-use).
2. Create a directory and unpack for the cuttlefish images and the CVD tools.
``` sh
mkdir cuttlefish
cd cuttlefish
unzip ~/Downloads/aosp_cf_x86_64_phone-img*.zip
tar xf ~/Downloads/cvd-host_package.tar.gz
```
### Generating the raw disk images
Go back to the cvd2img build directory and execute it pointing to the directory
containing the cuttlefish images expanded above:
``` sh
./target/debug/cvd2img ~/cuttlefish
```
### More options
``` sh
./target/debug/cvd2img --help
Usage: cvd2img [OPTIONS] <CVD_DIR>
Arguments:
<CVD_DIR> Directory containing the Android Cuttlefish images
Options:
-a, --arch <ARCH> Architecture of the source images [possible values: x86-64, aarch64]
-s, --system <FILE> Output file for the system disk image
-p, --props <FILE> Output file for the properties disk image
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
```
