I totally agree with @balbes150.
In my opinion, what he's doing is absolutely great.
Maybe it's easy to forget @balbes150 is doing this for free, and maybe we don't know how many hours he's spending on doing this (I bet some of them, everyday).
 
Thank you, Mr. @balbes150: I think you should be paid by ATVs manufacturers, because, thanks to your work, and only in my case, they have sold 3 Amlogic ATVs (to me); and I had never bought them because of Android: It's your Armbian, the reason
 
To be sincere, I'm happier with my ATV boxes, running @balbes150 Armbian,  than I am with my Raspberrys, covered by tons of dust in this very moment.

I'm not going to waste my time on all the shit that manufacturers shove in their crafts (just to write on them - WiFi available). Want to have WiFi, you have several options.
1. Use normal equipment where there is guaranteed WiFi support.
2. Use external USB WiFi with good support.
3. Themselves add the necessary support for your WiFi.
4. You seek from the seller\manufacturer of your equipment the necessary support.

Ive updated the guide I wrote to cover these additional topics:

- Software/Downloads Setting it up
- Steps to image your SD Card/USB stick from a Windows PC
- Installing onto the MeCool M8S PRO w (Or any other box assuming youve changed the DTB) Congratulations - If you reach here you will have a working Armbian server.

Booting Problems and getting your system to boot Booting off SD/USB problems. uEnv.ini and extlinux.conf (Required for booting Armbian)
