NAME

       ubertooth-util - general purpose Ubertooth utility

SYNOPSIS

       ubertooth-util [-abcdefghijk-ellemenop-qrstuvwxyZ]

DESCRIPTION

       ubertooth-util(1) is a catch-all tool for doing generally useful things with, to, and about Ubertooth. To
       get firmware revision and compile information, run:

              ubertooth-util -vV

       To fully reset Ubertooth, run:

              ubertooth-util -r

       Other options are available for modifying LED  states,  setting  channel,  and  performing  miscellaneous
       radio-related actions. Refer to the [OPTIONS][] section for full details.

       The  utility  also  includes a simple range test tool for use with two Uberteeth. Refer to [RANGE TEST][]
       for full details.

OPTIONS

       Common options:

              • -v : get firmware revision number

              • -V : get compile info

              • -I : identify ubertooth device by flashing all LEDs

              • -d[0-1] : get/set all LEDs

              • -l[0-1] : get/set USR LED

              • -S : stop current operation

              • -r : full reset

              • -U<0-7> : set ubertooth device to use

       Radio options:

              • -a[0-7] : get/set power amplifier level

              • -c[2400-2483] : get/set channel in MHz

              • -C[0-78] : get/set channel

              • -q[1-225 (RSSI threshold)] : start LED spectrum analyzer

              • -t : intitiate continuous transmit test

              • -z : set squelch level

       Range test:

              • -e : start repeater mode

              • -m : display range test result

              • -n : initiate range test

       Miscellaneous:

              • -f : activate flash programming (DFU) mode

              • -i : activate In-System Programming (ISP) mode

              • -b : get hardware board id number

              • -p : get microcontroller Part ID

              • -s : get microcontroller serial number

RANGE TEST

       Using two Uberteeth it is possible to perform a range test. One Ubertooth acts as a repeated by running:

              ubertooth-util -e

       A second Ubertooth (the sender) initiates the range test by running:

              ubertooth-util -n

       During the range test the sender  Ubertooth  will  transmit  data  packets  at  increasing  power  level,
       listening  for  repeats  from  the  repeater  Ubertooth.  The  receiving Ubertooth will validate that the
       received data was not corrupted in flight.

       The range test results can be displayed on the sender Ubertooth's system by running:

              ubertooth-util -m

       Note that the range test transmits the Cortex M3 microcontroller's serial number. If you do not  wish  to
       broadcast that information wirelessly, do not use the range test functionality.
