I built the AOSP source tree(envsetup, lunch and make) and would like to run the image built in an emulator. I ran the command
$ emulator-arm -verbose -system system.img -sysdir system -kernel kernel \
-ramdisk ramdisk.img -initdata userdata.img -data data.img -datadir data
The emulator starts and terminates with following error.
ko:Cannot determine type of userdata partition: no image files!
Does anyone know why this error is generated and how to fix this?

Okay so it seems that in addition to running build/envsetup.sh everytime, the lunch command also should be run with the previously specified target so that the required environment variables are set. After that, emulator works fine.
