Ok, I have updated my meta-mender branch and found that the MENDER\_EFI\_LOADER was defaulted to u-boot because it’s aarch64 see [meta-mender/mender-setup-grub.inc at master · mendersoftware/meta-mender · GitHub](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender/blob/master/meta-mender-core/classes/mender-setup-grub.inc#L29)

After cloned the [meta-arm repo](https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-arm/tree/meta-arm/recipes-bsp/uefi) and add the edk2-firmware recipe.

I changed the machine to get something like this

```auto
require conf/machine/qemuarm64.conf

# Boot the image via EFI
EFI_PROVIDER = "grub-efi"
MACHINE_FEATURES += "efi"
MENDER_EFI_LOADER = "edk2-firmware"

```

Now the grub.cfg is correct, but still doesn’t boot ☹ with the same message…
