To begin testing your custom script:
1 Copy your content and script file to the CF/SD card.
2 Name your script RUN.BRS. You can call it anything, as long as it’s not AUTORUN.BRS, so it
doesn’t start automatically.
3 Add debug = true as the first line of your script. This command enables you to see output
from the print statements you added to your script.
4 Insert your CF/SD card into your BrightSign and add power.
5 When the Roku prompt appears, type the following:
script run.brs
Multi-run script limitations
Currently when a script terminates, BrightSign does not free resources allocated by Roku Objects.
This means that if you use the
script
shell command to run a script, and the script exits, you may
not be able to run it again successfully unless you reboot your BrightSign between script tests.
Linux shell
BrightSign has a Linux shell that you can access via the serial port. To access the Linux shell, enter
the following at the Roku prompt:
exit
When you are done using the Linux shell, enter the following at the Linux prompt:
reboot
