The edk2 build is not a debug build and, before putting up
the menu, only outputs (I stripped some escape sequences):

=00NOTICE:  BL2: v2.4(release):v2.0-4462-ge7b392d0a

Press ESCAPE for boot options ....

After the menu things start with basically:

Consoles: serial port =20

Setting currdev to disk2p1:

   EFI Firmware: EDK II (rev 0.00)

   Load Path: \EFI\BOOT\BOOTAA64.EFI
. . .

One might be able to make inferences from the content
of some potential menu displays. Otherwise, I expect
that a debug build would be required to see DPAA2
references.

I do not expect one can validly infer much from the
lack of "DPAA2" text in my boot sequence (with any
capitalization vs. lower case status).
