Device Software (Firmware) and Upgrading

The BrightSign is pre-programmed with two primary software images: a “Safe Mode” and a “Run Mode”. The Safe Mode software image is write protected, and not changed once programmed by the factory. Its main purpose is to validate that the run mode rom image is not corrupt, and boot the unit. In addition, it can upgrade or re-program the main run-mode rom image.

The main run mode software image is stored on a flash rom and may be upgraded in the field. Roku is always working on improving the BrightSign software, so you should check our web site for possible upgrades. To upgrade the BrightSign run-mode rom, follow these steps:

1.Download the latest software from www.rokulabs.com/BrightSign

2.Unzip downloaded file and Copy the update to you CompactFlash card using your PC and a standard CompactFlash Card reader/writer.

3.Name the upgrade file either “update.rok” or “update_save.rok”. “update.rok” will auto-delete after the upgrade is complete. This is useful if you want to distribute the update to the field on the same CF card that contains the display content. In this mode, after the first boot, the unit will no longer upgrade, but will continue to autorun any auto-run content on the CF card. If named “update_save.rok” the file will not be auto-deleted. This is useful for using the same CF card to upgrade multiple BrightSigns.

4.Insert the CF card into the BrightSign and Apply Power.

a.Wait. If a display is connected it will be blank. After several seconds one of the LEDs on the front panel will start to flash. Once it completes flashing, the upgrade is complete. If you are using the “update.rok” method, the unit will then reboot as normal.

b.If you wish to verify the new software version, startup the BrightSign without a flash card inserted. If this update is older than version 1.1, use the BrightSign Shell and the “version” command. See the “BrightSign Shell” section for more details.

6.HD2000

a.Wait. If a display is connected it will be blank. The LEDs on the front panel will be lit as the unit boots up. After some time, the red upgrade LED will light up.

b.During the upgrade, the connector activity LEDs are turned on and off to indicate that the upgrade is in progress.

c.If the upgrade file was named “update.rok”, the file will be deleted and the unit will reboot.

i.Note – if the card was formatted with NTFS or HFS+, then the update.rok file will not be deleted, the Video Mode LEDs will flash, and the unit will not reboot.
