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

<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.
