Here you have a simple tutorial on how to install the newest firmware on Armada Mach 8 Android TV Box via SD Card method.

Firmware： Mach8-CodeRed-1.0-Update

Next, the box will then automatically reboot, and start with the new firmware. You’ll then go through a wizard to select your language (between the only three available: simplified Chinese, English, or traditional Chinese), adjust the screen size, and configure the network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).

The 'Setting' menu gives you access to the settings shown in the same Metro-style with four sub menus: Network, Display, Advanced and Other. The Network settings allow you to select Ethernet or Wi-Fi. The Display settings options: HDMI auto-detection resolution, HDMI output mode, hide or show the status bar, adjust the display position and screensaver. The Advanced menu will let you start Miracast, enable the software Remote control, adjust CEC control, set the screen orientation, and select digital audio output (PCM, SPDIF pass-through, HDMI pass-through). The Other button will give some details about the Android version (4.4.2) and kernel version (3.10.33). There’s also an OTA System Update menu. You can access the standard Android settings by going through Setting->Other->More Settings.

Next, with a few clisks and a few steps you will set up the Code Red Launcher, which came preinstalled for free in this version. It is very easy to configure and to use and has a very good looking design, I like it pretty much already.

Code Red Launcher is an amazing and easy to use Set Top Box Android Launcher; it can be used on any Android TV Box and now you will pay for it only $1.99USD in PlayStore. (highly recommended)
