the BD_ADDR is the Bluetooth device address and since it is an IEEE
address like the Ethernet MAC address it is unique. You must use this
one to indentify your device.

I heard rumors about a Linux version of btcli, but actually this is not
an open source tool as far as I know and so I can't help here.

We don't support renaming of the hciX interface names and it is not
really needed, because when it comes to higher layers like L2CAP and
RFCOMM you simply fill in the BD_ADDR of your local device as the source
address.
