Auto Power On on m3-7y30 not working

[rlvilla]

We have an Alpha m3-7y30.

The board works normally with Ubuntu. We are not using an RTC battery, and currently we are powering the board through USB C, although we are going to power it with the pins.

We have flashed BIOS and EC version B2 from Alpha Auto-power-on BIOS.zip following the methods described in the following README:
https://github.com/LattePandaTeam/LattePanda-Win10-Software/tree/master/BIOS%20for%20LattePanda%20Alpha%26Delta/Alpha%20m3-7y30

After finishing, we turned off the board, unplugged the power cord and plugged it again, but the board wont boot until the power button is pressed, so the Auto Power On is not working. The blue light just keeps on blinking.

We have tried flashing it again following the same method, and then using this method:

With the method above, the BIOS is flashed using Fpt instead of AfuEfix64, but we aren't sure if this changes anything.

However, the auto power on is still not working. We have seen other forum posts regarding this issue but the proposed solutions are not useful.

We would really appreciate if you could help us, as this board is being used in an ongoing project.
