Start OpenCore bootloader from GRUB

Last working on:
Open core vesion: 0.6.6
Mac OS version: Big Sur (11.2.1)
Grub version:

~ >>> grub-install --version                                                    
grub-install (GRUB) 2.04~manjaro

Arrange the files as below:

file_structure

  1. Make a directory under OC. Here I named "for_grub"
  2. Copy the OpenCore.efi file into this directory.

Why not delete the original OpenCore.efi file? (marked at position 2 in the image)

If you want to boot OpenCore from the BIOS OS boot manager (say, using an EFI file, such option is available in HP laptops) then you would need to select this original file, rather than the copied file.

Make a custom Grub entry

Under /etc/grub.d/40_custom add an entry as below. Do not delete the exec tail ... line.
This entry is according to the above image.
This is also assuming your hard disk and EFI partition is recognised as hd0 and gpt1 respectively.

menuentry 'MacOS' $menuentry_id_option 'macOS-efi' {
	insmod chain
	insmod part_gpt
	insmod fat
	set root=(hd0,gpt1)
	chainloader /efi/Mac/oc/for_grub/OpenCore.efi
	set root=(hd0,gpt1)/efi/Mac
}

Finally update grub

sudo update-grub

Now a working MacOS grub entry should be available.
