Unofficial support for the WeTek Core

I’ve merged the patches from OpenELEC 6 to add support for the new box from WeTek.

I have not been able to try the image myself on the hardware, but some users reported it working very well, with no major issues (unlike the WeTek Play).

The builds are available for download in our development builds.

I keep in touch with the WeTek team on Twitter. I may ask them to send a free sample so that we can start supporting this officially.

Future plans

• We received a Pine64, from the Pine64 team.
• We received an Odroid-C2 from the Hardkernel team.
• We should receive some UDOO Quad too, from the UDOO team.
• I’m working hard on improving scanning, boxarts, and game metadata. You will love the next release :)

Thanks a lot to the great community, contributors, and partners for your support!
