If you've been wondering how the Pixel phones will compare the Nexus line when it comes to updates and images and all things open-ish, you'll be happy to know that Google has posted the latest factory images and the day-one OTA update images at the Android developers site.
Three builds are available as a full image as well as incremental zip files (OTA updates), NDE63H, NDE63L, and NDE63P. All builds are Android 7.1. You flash things the same way you would have done on a Nexus phone or tablet, and we have a set of instructions here to make it as pain-free as possible.
