# ubertooth-dump(1)

output a continuous stream of received bits

## NAME

ubertooth-dump - output a continuous stream of received bits

## SYNOPSIS

```
ubertooth-dump [-b] [-c | -l] [-d <filename.bin>]
```

## DESCRIPTION

This tool dumps the raw bitstream received from the CC2400 radio to STDOUT or a file (if specified with `-d`). It can configure the radio to demodulate Classic Bluetooth with `-c` (default), or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) with `-l`. Optionally it can decode the binary data and print ASCII 0 and 1 using `-b`.'

## OPTIONS

- •

  `-b` : Print ASCII 0 and 1 instead of raw data

- •

  `-c` : Classic Bluetooth modulation (default)

- •

  `-l` : Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) modulation

- •

  `-d <filename.bin>` : Dump to file instead of stdout

- •

  `-U <0-7>` : which Ubertooth device to use
