Unzip it

Plug in your micro SD card with a USB to Micro SD adapter (can be found for less than $5 on Amazon)

Use a clone tool like etcher (etcher.io) to clone the unzipped image to your SD card (or use dd if you know what your doing) it MUST be a bit copy that overwrites the whole SD card and not just a partition so make sure whatever tool you use can do that

ChangeLog:
-system kernel updated to 4.19 for fixes and reliability

-you can now manually set fan to a minimum of 5%
-you can now edit pools directly instead of deleting and re-adding
-added settings option to enable local bfgminer API access
-stratum pool difficulty is now displayed in dashboard instead of discarded shares
-OS will now automatically expand SD card to maximum size on first boot
-Dashboard now shows bfgminer log output if there are connection issues
-Miner Yellow LED now blinks rapidly after hardware initialization is successfully complete and waiting for bfgminer startup (ie if there is an external internet connection issue, or bad pool/credentials issue miner will just keep blinking yellow rapidly)
-multiple dashboard visual fixes
-lots of hardware monitor bug fixes
