 ### Images
 
+#### Build arguments
+
+The building of the image requires the following build arguments:
+
+- `ZEPHYR_VERSION`: version of [Zephyr][zephyr] to install (e.g. `4.1.0`)
+- `ARCHITECTURE`: target architecture (e.g. `arm`, `x86_64`, etc.)
+- `ZEPHYR_SDK_VERSION`: version of [Zephyr SDK][Zephyr SDK] to install (e.g. `0.17.4`)
+
+Example:
+
+```shell
+docker build \
+    --build-arg ZEPHYR_VERSION=4.1.0 \
+    --build-arg ARCHITECTURE=x86_64 \
+    --build-arg ZEPHYR_SDK_VERSION=0.17.4 \
