NAME

6       hciattach - attach serial devices via UART HCI to BlueZ stack
7

SYNOPSIS

9       hciattach  [-b] [-n] [-p] [-t timeout] [-s speed] [-l] [-r] tty type|id
10       speed flow bdaddr
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Hciattach is used to attach a serial UART to the Bluetooth stack as HCI
14       transport interface.
15

OPTIONS

17       -b     Send break.
18
19       -n     Don't detach from controlling terminal.
20
21       -p     Print the PID when detaching.
22
23       -t timeout
24              Specify an initialization timeout.  (Default is 5 seconds.)
25
26       -s speed
27              Specify an initial speed instead of the hardware default.
28
29       -l     List all available configurations.
30
31       -r     Set the HCI device into raw mode (the kernel and bluetoothd will
32              ignore it).
33
34       tty    This specifies the serial device to attach. A leading  /dev  can
35              be omitted. Examples: /dev/ttyS1 ttyS2
36
37       type|id
38              The  type  or id of the Bluetooth device that is to be attached,
39              i.e. vendor or other device specific identifier. Currently  sup‐
40              ported types are

75
76       speed  The speed specifies the UART speed to use. Baudrates higher than
77              115.200bps require vendor specific initializations that are  not
78              implemented  for  all types of devices. In general the following
79              speeds are supported:
80
81              9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600
82
83              Supported vendor devices are automatically initialised to  their
84              respective best settings.
85
86       flow   If  the  keyword  flow  is  appended to the list of options then
87              hardware flow control is forced on the serial link ( CRTSCTS  ).
88              All  above  mentioned  device types have flow set by default. To
89              force no flow control use noflow instead.
90
91       sleep  Enables hardware specific power management feature. If sleep  is
92              appended to the list of options then this feature is enabled. To
93              disable this feature use nosleep instead.  All  above  mentioned
94              device types have nosleep set by default.
95
96              Note:  This option will only be valid for hardware which support
97              hardware specific power management enable option from host.
98
99       bdaddr The bdaddr specifies the Bluetooth Address to use.  Some devices
100              (like  the STLC2500) do not store the Bluetooth address in hard‐
101              ware memory.  Instead it must be uploaded during the initializa‐
102              tion  process.   If this argument is specified, then the address
103              will be used to initialize the  device.   Otherwise,  a  default
104              address will be used.
