Hey Peng,

As ubuntu-device-flash (soon to be renamed IIRC) and other tools are
using some plateform features to create new images, indeed, you really
need to be on the ubuntu version you are targetting to build the image
as of now.
I would recommend you using 16.04 LTS desktop consequently. I don't know
if we have any up to date instructions on how to build an image, but
maybe Oliver (CCed) will have some guidance?

Cheers,
Didier
