    i've also notice that my hboards are getting really hot even when i'm not mining.

    miner: no process found

    what does that mean. is something wrong with my sd?

    i think you did the chainminer update wrong. without going back to dissect each change you made, heres the best way to start from scratch:

    1) download the newest SD image for your version of m-board
    2) connect a screen and keyboard and start up the system. login as pi/raspberry
    3) on first boot it should ask you if you want to change the ip. check your router (usually 192.168.X.1) and set the bitfury to 192.168.X.249   (x being a number, likely 1 or 0)
    4) set up pool info via ssh or webUI
    5) you should be mining already. to update the chainminer to improve the error rates:


    ChainMiner for M Board Version 2.X boards
    DO not use this guide for Version 1x m-boards.
    It will fry your chips.  This is only meant for Version 2 of the M-board.

    I apologize for grammar as I took 2 sleeping pills and I can barely feel my fingers.

    1.login as pi or root

    2.  type "nanorun/shm/.stat.log"   if you wish to see the performance of all the chips on your board before upgrading chain miner.
    (optional step)
    3.(backup your chainminer version)  (this creates a copy of the folder)
    a. sudo cp -aopt/bitfuryusr/bitfury.backup
    b. cdopt/bitfury/
    c. pwd  (make sure you are inopt/bitfury)
    d. ls -al (or type dir)
    e. rm -rf chainminer  (this removes everything in the chainminer folder and the chainminer folder itself)
    4.  make sure you are in theopt/bitfury directory and not inopt/bitfury/chainminer (it should be deleted anyway
    5.  type "git clone https://github.com/bfsb/chainminer.git"
    6.  it should now start getting the chainminer git.
    7.  now type "cd chainminer"  you should now be in the chainminer directory
    8.  type "make"
    9.  Its going to take 5-10 minutes to create the chainminer...maybe longer.
     I got some warning but everything was fine after it all finished.
     it will go back to a  bash prompt when done.
    9a.  Just wait...this is the longest part of doing this change..
    10.  sudo reboot
