NAME

       hciattach - attach serial devices via UART HCI to BlueZ stack

SYNOPSIS

       hciattach < tty > < type | id > [ speed ] [ flow ]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       <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

	      type   description

	      any    Unspecified HCI_UART interface, no vendor specific options

	      bcsp   Serial adapters using CSR chips with BCSP serial protocol

       Supported IDs are (manufacturer id, product id)

	      0x0105, 0x080a

	      0x0160, 0x0002
		     BrainBoxes PCMCIA card (BL620)

       <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.
