## Where to find an AGL bootable image
### Building an AGL image from scratch using Yocto.
-**Note:** An alternative method for building an image is to use
- the AGL SDK delivered in a Docker container. There is currently no SDK dedicated to IA
- but the SDK provided for the Porter Board can build
- an IA image without changes (just aglsetup.sh needs to call for Intel).
