BTATTACH(8)

NAME
btattach - attach serial lines as Bluetooth HCI interfaces

SYNOPSIS
btattach [-dfop] [-i speed] [type] tty speed

DESCRIPTION
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
bcsp
    Generic BCSP (BlueCore Serial Protocol)
bgb2xx
    Philips BGB2xx module
btuart
    Generic UART (this is the default)
csr Cambridge Silicon Radio Casira serial adaptor, 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

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  Enable flow control.

-i speed
    Specify an alternate speed for the Bluetooth module to use during the initialization phase.

-o  Enable odd parity.

-p  Enable parity (even parity).

Only the super-user may attach a Bluetooth HCI interface.

HISTORY
The btattach program was written with reference to hciattach(8) as provided with the BlueZ tools for Linux and first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
