For rgbd_relay, the node version is not installed by default with the binaries, only the nodelet. I fixed the problem in this commit. A workaround with the current version is to edit rtabmap.launch and change this line to:

<node name="republish_rgbd_image"  type="nodelet" pkg="nodelet" args="standalone rtabmap_ros/rgbd_relay">

 
Which nodes are dying? If it is freenect_launch, it may be a power/usb problem. I just tried a kinect 360 on RPI3 + Ubuntu mate 18.04 + rtabmap binaries and it cannot open the device with freenect, openni or openni2 drivers. I remember however a couple years ago having successfully run rtabmap + kinect360 on RPI with raspbian.

I think the biggest issue here is not rtabmap, but the drivers. If you make freenect or openni working on odroid, you should be able to use rtabmap binaries with their image outputs.
