Hello Ram,

You can see what each of these file include on the Android User’s Guide, which is included as part of the BSP documentation.

The system.img is an EXT4 image generated from "system/", which contains the Android system binary/libraries. This file can be programmed to "SYSTEM" partition on SD/eMMC card with "dd".

These files are created when you tun the make command after setting up all necessary configurations using the lunch command. There are a series of profiles already configured for the NXP boards as part of the Android BSP. You can find more details on the Android BSP documentation.

I hope this helps!

Regards,
