Follow these steps to enable the BrightScript debugger on a player:
- Connect your PC to the player using a serial cable (or use Telnet/SSH). The serial connection has the following settings:
- Baud rate: 115200
- Data: 8 bit
- Parity: none
- Stop: 1 bit
- Flow control: none
- Power up the player without an SD card (or any other storage device containing an autorun.brs script).
- Press and hold the SVC button until the red Err LED begins a three-flash cycle.
- Type "Script Debug On" at the shell prompt.
With Script Debug mode turned on, the player will not automatically restart when the the script causes a crash. Instead, the shell will drop in to the BrightScript debugger. Normally, with Script Debug mode turned off, the player will flash the red Err LED 10 times twice, then restart automatically.
