NAME

       hciattach - attach serial devices via UART HCI to BlueZ stack

SYNOPSIS

       hciattach [-b] [-n] [-p] [-t timeout] [-s speed] [-l] [-r] tty type|id speed flow bdaddr

DESCRIPTION

       Hciattach is used to attach a serial UART to the Bluetooth stack as HCI transport interface.

OPTIONS

       -b     Send break.

       -n     Don't detach from controlling terminal.

       -p     Print the PID when detaching.

       -t timeout
              Specify an initialization timeout.  (Default is 5 seconds.)

       -s speed
              Specify an initial speed instead of the hardware default.

       -l     List all available configurations.

       -r     Set the HCI device into raw mode (the kernel and bluetoothd will ignore it).

       tty    This  specifies  the  serial device to attach. A leading /dev can be omitted. Examples: /dev/ttyS1
              ttyS2

       type|id
              The type or id of the Bluetooth device that is  to  be  attached,  i.e.  vendor  or  other  device
              specific identifier. Currently supported types are

       speed  The  speed  specifies  the  UART  speed  to  use.  Baudrates higher than 115.200bps require vendor
              specific initializations that are not implemented  for  all  types  of  devices.  In  general  the
              following speeds are supported:

              9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600

              Supported vendor devices are automatically initialised to their respective best settings.

       flow   If the keyword flow is appended to the list of options then hardware flow control is forced on the
              serial link ( CRTSCTS ). All above mentioned device types have flow set by default.  To  force  no
              flow control use noflow instead.

       sleep  Enables  hardware  specific  power management feature. If sleep is appended to the list of options
              then this feature is enabled. To disable this feature use nosleep instead.   All  above  mentioned
              device types have nosleep set by default.

              Note: This option will only be valid for hardware which support hardware specific power management
              enable option from host.

       bdaddr The bdaddr specifies the Bluetooth Address to use.  Some devices (like the STLC2500) do not  store
              the  Bluetooth  address in hardware memory.  Instead it must be uploaded during the initialization
              process.  If this argument is specified, then the address will be used to initialize  the  device.
              Otherwise, a default address will be used.
