Ok no surprise here I’m apparently doing something Very Wrong and totally confused. Again it’s me not you so don’t take that the wrong way. These are the files and instructions I used to create the boot drive:
usbimager_1.0.10_wo-i686-win-gdi
CoreELEC-Amlogic-ne.aarch64-21.1.1-Omega-Generic.img.gz
Since it booted ok made me think I was on the right track apparently not since I have no clue were the /flash/remote.conf
/storage/.config/remote.conf is or if the amremote driver is loaded or much less how to load the remote profile manually. Sadly at this point I think it’s safe to say I’m lost-in-space and feel like I need an idiots guide to get the remote working.
