Tunable options in the manifest

The tool used to build an AutoSD OS image is called automotive-image-builder and its input files are Automotive Image Builder manifests.

An Automotive Image Builder manifest specifies the build configuration of your image. To create an immutable AutoSD OS image, you must define configurable options exclusively in your manifest file.

The simple manifest is a resource that lists the configuration details of tunable options in an Automotive Image Builder manifest. The simple manifest describes the component type, the purpose of the component, its syntax, required values, options, and other information.

If an option does not appear in the simple manifest, then its value is constant and it cannot be changed in an Automotive Image Builder manifest.
