Creating Yocto Mender for Raspberrypi 3

I need help creating Mender for Raspberry Pi3. I can create the image, but when using Win32Image to burn the Disk Image it doesn't boot.

Here is my additional conf.log 

MENDER_ARTIFACT_NAME = "release-1"
INHERIT += "mender-full"
MACHINE ?= "raspberrypi3"
RPI_USE_U_BOOT = "1"
MENDER_PARTITION_ALIGNMENT_KB = "4096"
MENDER_BOOT_PART_SIZE_MB = "40"
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " kernel-image kernel-devicetree"
IMAGE_FSTYPES_remove += " rpi-sdimg"
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " systemd"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"
DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED = "sysvinit"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = ""
IMAGE_FSTYPES = "ext4"

and bblayers

POKY_BBLAYERS_CONF_VERSION = "2"

BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"
BBFILES ?= ""

BBLAYERS ?= " \
  /home/ubuntu/pyro/poky/meta \
  /home/ubuntu/pyro/poky/meta-poky \
  /home/ubuntu/pyro/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
  /home/ubuntu/pyro/openembedded-core/meta \
  /home/ubuntu/pyro/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
  /home/ubuntu/pyro/meta-openembedded/meta-python \
  /home/ubuntu/pyro/meta-openembedded/meta-networking \

  /home/ubuntu/pyro/meta-mender/meta-mender-core \
  /home/ubuntu/pyro/meta-mender/meta-mender-demo \
  /home/ubuntu/pyro/meta-mender/meta-mender-raspberrypi \
  "

I can create the rpi-basic image as follows:

            ubuntu@ip-172-31-6-3:~/pyro/build$ bitbake rpi-basic-image

            NATIVELSBSTRING   = "universal"
            TARGET_SYS        = "arm-poky-linux-gnueabi"

            meta-raspberrypi  = "pyro:40447de4782d76f1e23e67ba05e272c27f6ec250"
            meta-mender-core
            meta-mender-raspberrypi = "pyro:b40f05c82ebc97c18ddf8ac426af4657ddba9425"

            ubuntu@ip-172-31-6-3:~/pyro/build$

Maybe I am missing some steps?

The pyro branch of meta-raspberrypi does not support the RPI_USE_U_BOOT setting. For that (and older) branches you need to use 'KERNEL_IMAGETYPE_rpi = "uImage"' instead.
