15 is used to query or set the local Bluetooth device address (BD_ADDR). If run
19 prints the chip manufacturer's name, and the current BD_ADDR. If the IEEE OUI
20 index file "oui.txt" is installed on the system, the BD_ADDR owner will be
21 displayed. If the optional [new bdaddr] argument is given, the device will be
22 reprogrammed with that address. This can either be permanent or temporary, as
23 specified by the -t flag. In both cases, the device must be reset before the
24 new address will become active. This can be done with a 'soft' reset by
25 specifying the -r flag, or a 'hard' reset by removing and replugging the
26 device. A 'hard' reset will cause the address to revert to the current
31 uses manufacturer specific commands to set the address, and is therefore
32 device specific. For this reason, not all devices are supported, and not all
33 options are supported on all devices.
34 Current supported manufacturers are:
35 .B Ericsson, Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR), Texas Instruments (TI), Zeevo
37 .B ST Microelectronics (ST)
42 Gives a list of possible commands.
45 Specify a particular device to operate on. If not specified, default is the
46 first available device.
49 Reset device and make new BD_ADDR active.
55 Temporary change. Do not write to non-volatile memory.
