 # Building Your Own Image
 
+To build your own custom balenaOS image, refer to the README for respective device type repository hosted in the [balenaOS GitHub org](https://github.com/balena-os/) for more information.
+
+Identifying the right repository is important. All device type repositories will start with `balena-*`, and all device types built by a repository define a device type coffee file named `machine-name.coffee` with device meta-data for the build pipeline and balenaCloud to injest. Find the correct coffee file for your machine name and read the `slug` field from it.
+For example, to find the right repository for the device type Raspberry Pi 3.
+
+1. Find the [Machine Name](https://docs.balena.io/reference/hardware/devices/) for the board you are looking for. In this case, Raspberry Pi 3's slug is `raspberrypi3`.
+2. Next, search for the file `raspberrypi3.coffee` on the [GitHub Org search](https://github.com/search?q=org%3Abalena-os%20raspberrypi3.coffee&type=code)
+3. From the results, we will find the repository called [balena-raspberrypi](https://github.com/balena-os/balena-raspberrypi) containing the file. 
+4. Refer to [build information](https://github.com/balena-os/balena-raspberrypi/blob/master/README.md#build-information) section in the repository to find instructions to build your custom operating system. 
+
+All coffeescript file are named based on [Device type slugs](https://docs.balena.io/reference/hardware/devices/). Similarly here are some examples for other popular devices. 
+
+| Device Type     | GitHub Repository                                                                              |
