    This is strange. It worked for a while, so I shut down and re-assembled the unit and gave it to my brother for Christmas.

    When we plugged it in to try it out, the remote did not work.

    I thought that maybe the IR connector or wires were loose or damaged by my reassembly, so I put the android eMMC back in and booted that, only to find that the remote does work there... so it is a software and not a hardware problem.

    I switched back to the LibreELEC eMMC, and verified:

    /storage/.config/rc_maps.cfg

    still contains

    * * pine64

    I had to change this to:

    * * pine64.toml

    Now the remote is working again.

    Thanks for the tip.

    Is there any way to bring up a console in LibreELEC or do I need to make a remote connection?

    My remote does appear to be the same remote as the Pine 64 IR remote:

    PINE64 IR REMOTE with IR RECEIVER SENSOR - PINE STORE
    Basic IR remote control with IR receiver Does not have Air Mouse capability. Uses AAA Batteries (not included) Installation Guide – PINE64 IR Receiver
    pine64.com

    Hopefully that means I can use the solution here:

    Hi,

    I installed LibreELEC on a Popcorn Hour Transformer, however the included IR Remote is not working. Is this something that can be enabled as a Kodi addon or otherwise?

    The IR remote does work with the Android installation(s) that came with the Transformer, but Android 7 and 9 on this device has not fast enough to play 4K UHD content smoothly.

    Thanks!
