No boot devices in J3455-ITX v1.30 BIOS upgrade

   Hi,
I have just upgraded J3455-ITX board BIOS to v1.30, noticing there are no SATA drives showing up in the boot devices list. USB devices do show up. I can boot by enabling the CSM compatibility support module. However, this should not be necessary and, in fact, not recommended. 

Is there a fix?

Update 1: There is no difference between BIOS v1.20 or BIOS v1.30. I confirmed this by flashing back the old BIOS. I can't explain why I assumed it was different, but I was in fact sure.

Update 2: I can't boot if CSM compatibility support module is disabled. I can boot if CSM compatibility support module is enabled, regardless of the Launch Storage opROM option: the boot devices are listed in Legacy and UEFI mode. They just dissapear from the boot list if CSM is disabled.

Update 3: Is it possible that J3455 BIOS only lists Windows boot partitions? I have Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS Linux installed.

	With BIOS 1.2 and 1.3 my SATA SSD bootet normally. I just reset to UEFI defaults, boot still ok.
