+.Sh NAME
+.Nm amdtemp
+.Nd device driver for AMD K8, K10 and K11 on-die digital thermal sensor
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following line in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device amdtemp"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+amdtemp_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the on-die digital thermal sensor present
+in AMD K8, K10 and K11 processors.
+.Pp
+For the K8 family, the
+.Nm
+driver reports each cores' temperature through a sysctl node in the
+corresponding CPU devices's sysctl tree, named
+.Va dev.amdtemp.%d.sensor{0,1}.core{0,1} .
+The driver also creates
+.Va dev.cpu.%d.temperature
+displaying the maximum temperature of the two sensors
+located in each CPU core.
+.Pp
+For the K10 and K11 families, the driver creates
+.Va dev.cpu.%d.temperature
+with the temperature of each core.
+.Sh BUGS
+AMD K9 is not supported because temperature reporting has been replaced
+by Maltese.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr sysctl 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Fx 7.1 .
