How to Root Oreo on your Nvidia shield tv 16gb 2017 model

[gidabytes01]

shield pro oreo 8.0.0 rooted with tegraOTA

One of the XDA members has kindly shared his magisk patched boot image for the latest version.
Can i just unlock the boot loader and replace the boot.img with the rooted boot img that has magisk to root the device?

magisk does not work for my shield pro 7.1.0. i used the nv-recovery-image-shield-atv-pro-7.1.0-dev_rooted.zip but does not come with rooted access handy. i used supersu and managed to expand my ram to 6.80 GB using roehsoft ram expander (swap) and used tegra overclock to maximize CPU and GPU. so far, no issues and i will send an email to nvidia developer team to include such features.
