NAME

btattach — attach serial lines as Bluetooth HCI interfaces

SYNOPSIS

btattach [-dFfoPp] [-i speed] [type] tty speed

btattach -t [-dFfoPp] tty

btattach is used to assign a tty line to a Bluetooth Host Controller Interface using the btuart(4) or bcsp(4) line disciplines, and can optionally initialize the line for a given device type before activating the line discipline.

Supported types are:

bcm2035: Broadcom BCM2035
bcm43xx: Broadcom BCM43xx
bcm43xx-3wire: Broadcom BCM43xx (3-wire)
bcsp: Generic BCSP (BlueCore Serial Protocol)
bgb2xx: Philips BGB2xx module
btuart: Generic UART (this is the default)
csr: Cambridge Silicon Radio Casira serial adapter, or Brainboxes serial dongle (BL642)
ericsson: Ericsson based modules
digi: Digianswer based cards
st: ST Microelectronics minikits based on STLC2410/STLC2415
stlc2500: ST Microelectronics minikits based on STLC2500
swave: Silicon Wave kits
texas: Texas Instruments modules
unistone: Infineon UniStone (PBA31308) modules

When the line discipline is activated, btattach detaches and sleeps until it receives a SIGHUP.

The command line options are as follows:

-d: debug mode. print initialization IO and do not detach.
-F: Disable flow control.
-f: Enable flow control.
-i speed: Specify an alternate speed for the Bluetooth module to use during the initialization phase.
-o: Enable odd parity.
-P: Disable parity.
-p: Enable parity (even parity).
-t: Test mode.
