Tonight I fixed my last issue with my i3 NUC. My xbox 360 MCE remote was NOT booting the unit, but it is now, and with the world's most STUPID fix.
Got the remote running in OpenELEC using the autostart script as seen in the first post, no issue. But it would not BOOT the unit. Shutdown, yes. For the DN2820 however, the remote worked at all times. Strange...
Anyway, the simple remedy is to simply install Windows 7 or 8, install the necessary chipset/usb/lan/mgmt drivers and lastly the Nuvoton IR package. Reboot as needed, and then there's one more step: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=85839
Perform that tweak, reboot, and then play with the remote. I opened the media centre app by pressing the 'X' button in the middle, then immediately sent the unit into hibernation using the POWER XBOX button. I then woke it up using the same button... I could smell success. Lastly, I turned off the NUC, then waited a few seconds before trying a 'test' power-on.
It finally works, what a stupid lot of bullshit to get the NUC to power on. It seems installing the IR software in windows 'initialises' the CIR for good. Reinstalling OE as we speak, hopefully this holds. Other people on the Intel NUC boards have reported similar success just recently.
Thought I'd share that bit of info - it's a "simple" solution to a frustrating problem.
Cheers,
bc.
