+# Build qemuarm64 initramfs
+## Build
+To build qemuarm64 initramfs image, we should clone Yocto **poky** and **meta-qcom** .  
+The method as follows:  
+
+```bash
+mkdir initramfs-tiny-image
+cd initramfs-tiny-image/
+
+git clone https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
+cd poky
+git switch styhead 
+
+git clone https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-qcom
+cd meta-qcom
+git switch styhead
+
+cd ..
+source oe-init-build-env build-qemuarm64
+# then will auto-change dir to build-qemuarm64
+
+vim conf/bblayers.conf
+# In BBLAYERS add meta-qcom with path
+
+vim conf/local.conf
+# Change MACHINE val to qemuarm64
+# Add: INIT_MANAGER = "systemd"
+
+bitbake initramfs-tiny-image
+```
+
+## Convert the image
+After `bitbake` build successfully, we get `initramfs-tiny-image-qemuarm64.cpio.gz` . It is not EXT4 image, which is needed by **gunyah-support-scripts**.  
+It is neccessary to convert this image:  
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+CPIO_GZ_FILE="initramfs-tiny-image-qemuarm64.cpio.gz"
+EXTRACT_DIR="rootfs_temp"
+EXT4_IMAGE="rootfs_ext4.img"
+EXT4_SIZE_MB="512"  # image size in MB
+
+echo "Step 1: Extracting ${CPIO_GZ_FILE}..."
+mkdir -p ${EXTRACT_DIR}
+gzip -d -c -k ${CPIO_GZ_FILE} | (cd ${EXTRACT_DIR} && cpio -idm) 
+
+echo "Step 2: Creating empty ${EXT4_IMAGE} file..."
+dd if=/dev/zero of=${EXT4_IMAGE} bs=1M count=${EXT4_SIZE_MB} status=progress
+mkfs.ext4 -F ${EXT4_IMAGE}
+
+echo "Step 3: Copying contents into ${EXT4_IMAGE}..."
+MOUNT_DIR="mnt_ext4"
+mkdir -p ${MOUNT_DIR}
+sudo mount -o loop ${EXT4_IMAGE} ${MOUNT_DIR}
+sudo cp -a ${EXTRACT_DIR}/* ${MOUNT_DIR}/
+sudo chown -R root:root ${MOUNT_DIR}
+sudo umount ${MOUNT_DIR}
+rmdir ${MOUNT_DIR}
+
+echo "Step 4: Cleaning up and compressing..."
+rm -rf ${EXTRACT_DIR}
+gzip -k -f ${EXT4_IMAGE}
+
+echo "Conversion complete. Your ext4.gz image is: ${EXT4_IMAGE}.gz"
+```
+
+## Use the image
+Copy the `rootfs_ext4.img.gz` to Docker container, such as:  
+
+```bash
+cp <your_yocto_build_dir>/rootfs_ext4.img.gz ~/work/Gunyah/share/
+
+cd <your_gunyah_support_scripts_dir>
+export HOST_TO_DOCKER_SHARED_DIR=~/work/Gunyah/share
+./scripts/run-docker.sh
+
+# Get in docker container, exec:
+cp ~/share/rootfs_ext4.img.gz ~/mnt/workspace/
+
+# exit docker container
+```
+
+Then, while run `build-docker-img.sh`, it will ask:  
+```
+Do you want to provide a local rootfs image file? (y/n)
+```
+Answer **y**, and input the image path in your docker container, such as: `/home/<your_name>/mnt/workspace/rootfs_ext4.img.gz` 
+
+Now, qemuarm64 initramfs image is ready for you.

 If any errors occur, refer to above pitfalls and remedies. After this script completes successfully the docker image and other volumes are ready to be used.
 
+> NOTICE: In `build-docker-img.sh` it will download Linaro stock rootfs image, but this rootfs image is not available on snapshots.linaro.org. It is better to provide a local rootfs image file, while the script ask.  
+> The local build method please refer to [Build qemuarm64 initramfs](build_qemuarm64_initramfs.md).
