BTUARTD(8)

NAME
btuartd - Bluetooth HCI UART (H4) daemon

SYNOPSIS
btuartd [-d] [-c conffile]
btuartd [-f] [-i init_speed] [type] comdev speed

DESCRIPTION
The btuartd daemon configures and attaches Bluetooth HCI UART devices. It opens comdev like com(4) and compatible devices, also configures speed and flow. The btuartd daemon supports HCI UART. With -c it reads the configuration file and with -d it runs in foreground mode. With a comdev argument, it configures that device.

When the SIGHUP signal is received in daemon mode, all devices are closed, and the daemon rereads the configuration files.

If the type is given, then btuartd sets btuart(4) to type. Otherwise that for unspecified HCI UART interface. Supported types are:

ericsson
    Ericsson based modules

digi
    Digianswer based cards

texas
    Texas Instruments

csr Cambridge Silicon Radio Casira serial adapter or BrainBoxes serial dongle (BL642)

swave
    Silicon Wave kits

st  ST Microelectronics minikits based on STLC2410/STLC2415

stlc2500
    ST Microelectronics minikits based on STLC2500

bt2000c
    AmbiCom BT2000C Bluetooth PC/CF Card

bcm2035
    Broadcom BCM2035

The command line options are as follows:

-c conffile
    Specify the configuration file. The default is /etc/bluetooth/btuartd.conf.

-d  Run in foreground (do not detach).

-f  Enable flow control as com(4).

-i init_speed
    Specify the initial speed for the Bluetooth module.

FILES
/etc/bluetooth/btuartd.conf
/var/run/btuartd.pid
