+.Sh NAME
+.Nm amdisplay ,
+.Nm nxphdmi
+.Nd Texas Instruments AM335x LCD display driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm "amdisplay* at simplebus0"
+.Nm "nxphdmi* at iic*"
+.Nm "wsdisplay* at amdisplay*"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the LCD controller integrated in Texas Instruments' line of
+AM335x SoCs.
+The LCDC reads a framebuffer from memory via DMA and scans it out
+at the proper frequency to suit a display (along with the nessecary
+hsync/vsync/etc signals) to a PHY transmitter.
+The BeagleBone Black uses
+NXP/Freescale's TDA19988 HDMI transmitter which is additionally supported by the
+.Nm nxphdmi
+driver.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr intro 4 ,
+.Xr wsdisplay 4 ,
+.Xr wsfb 4
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver does not appear in
+.Ox 6.1
+currently.
+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An -nosplit
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Ian Sutton Aq Mt ian@ce.gl .
+The
+.Nm nxphdmi
+driver was written by
+.An Oleksandr Tymoshenko Aq Mt gonzo@freebsd.org
+and later ported to OpenBSD.
+.Sh CAVEATS
+On the BeagleBone Black, the LCDC and onboard eMMC NAND chip share the same set
+of pads such that only one can be wired and used at a time.

+Hotplugging is not supported.
+.Pp
+Only 16 bit color depth is supported due to a silicon bug.
