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/ttyS1ttyS2
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:
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.
