NAME
hciattach - attach serial devices via UART HCI to BlueZ stack
SYNOPSIS
hciattach [OPTIONS] <tty> <type|id> [speed] [flow] [sleep] [bdaddr]
hciattach -1
DESCRIPTION
hciattach(1) is used to attach a serial UART to the Bluetooth stack as HCI transport
interface.
OPTIONS
-i 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 bluetooth daemon will ignore it.
-h, --help
Show help options
ARGUMENTS
show 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 115200bps require
vendor specific initializations that are not implemented for all types of devices.
In general the following speeds are supported:
Supported vendor devices are automatically initialised to their respective best
settings.

flow If the 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|nosleep
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.
