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.
