Elric

we probably need to remove the desktop-install feature from Armbian-config.. we have new code for our more complex desktops and its not in armbian config.

I should have paid attention to what I did, but when the USB to TTL serial adapter arrived I promptly connected that and got the initial console and set-up which allows me to login as root and 1234, to then change the password and ask all the usual initial set-up questions.  Once I got past all of that then everything magically started working, including the HDMI port.  Without using the USB to TTL RS232 card on the debug port on the BananaPro, the SoC board appeared to be dead.  It was not.  I've got it working now.  [Just need to create an image back-up of the MicroSD card.

Thank you. LIRC is not needed at all, Linux event subsystem is enough.
i needed to run commands in the Linux shell of ODROID-C2
by pressing the colored buttons on the Samsung TV RC, and
I used lircd and irexec earlier for this purpose, look above.
At first I realized that Samsung remotes use the NEC protocol:
ir-keytable --protocol=nec
Then I scanned some codes I need: ir-keytable -t -v
And place it to file: /lib/udev/rc_keymaps/samsung.toml
[[protocols]] name = "samsung" protocol = "nec" variant = "nec" [protocols.scancodes] 0x7076c = "KEY_RED" 0x70714 = "KEY_GREEN" 0x70715 = "KEY_YELLOW" 0x70716 = "KEY_BLUE" The string of code initializing may be placed to rc.local, is it right?
/usr/bin/ir-keytable --clear --protocol=nec  --write=/lib/udev/rc_keymaps/samsung.toml 2>/dev/null
Instead of irexec, I used the utility for handling Linux events:
apt-get install triggerhappy
And place configuration like this:
# Samsung TV Remote Control KEY_RED 1 /usr/local/bin/script.sh red KEY_GREEN 1 /usr/local/bin/script.sh green KEY_YELLOW 1 /usr/local/bin/script.sh yellow KEY_BLUE 1 /usr/local/bin/script.sh blue Thats all, I hope that someone will be useful
apt purge lirc

WBR, WRA-RIPE
 

Downloaded new image Armbian_21.08.1_Bananapi_buster_current_5.10.60.img today, flashed it to sdcard and started with a Unifying reciever plugged-in. Everything was fine, kernel starts without any troubles. Thanks for providing a new installation image!
