I don't have a ARM64 Mac handy, but created no-gdisk-arm script – which is mean just EXT2 to FAT conversion, using ARM64 CHR imagine.

feedback was it does not work with UTM and ARM64 MacOS...

It unclear what's needed. No high demand (including from me since I used Intel ;)).

fwiw the arm64 raw image for 7.17 beta 2 worked fine with an Oracle Cloud VM running Ampere arm64 (VM.Standard.A1.Flex instance) - those shapes only support UEFI so this was very handy! Downgraded to 7.16 after using this and all good.

Good to hear @BetaQuasi.

Just to confirm the standard CHR images for Mikrotik's ARM64 does NOT work on Oracles's ARM64 Ampere?

I have a support case with Mikrotik open for a while to at least have some image with a FAT partition for EFI... so been collecting data... I'd actually like not to be in the business of repackaging other peoples software - but whole process is at least transparent on GitHub
