iso files are relevant only to the x86 port of Android OS. Regular android devices are flushed using img files, that's why 'iso_img' is not a known target in the regular AOSP code base.

Thus you either: - want to build AOSP for a regular Android device. In this case you need the img files generated automatically for you. - want to build AOSP for an x86 (typically PC). In this case you should not base on AOSP, but on the x86 port : https://www.android-x86.org/
