NAME

       hciattach - attach serial devices via UART HCI to BlueZ stack

SYNOPSIS

       hciattach [-n] [-p] [-t timeout] tty type|id speed flow bdaddr

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       -n     Don't detach from controlling terminal.

       -p     Print the PID when detaching.

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

       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

		     Ericsson based modules

	      digi   Digianswer based cards

	      swave  Silicon Wave kits

	      bcsp   Serial adapters using CSR chips with BCSP serial protocol

       Supported IDs are (manufacturer id, product id)

       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.

       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.
