 ### Display Panels
 
-Arch R ships 20 pre-generated MIPI panel overlays covering all known R36S display variants. Panel selection is done by copying the correct `.dtbo` file to `overlays/mipi-panel.dtbo` on the boot partition.
+Arch R ships 43 pre-generated MIPI panel overlays covering all known R36S display variants, named after the exact motherboard revision (e.g. `R36S-V21_2024-12-18_2551.dtbo`, `G80CA-MB_V1.3-20251212_Panel_8.dtbo`). Panel selection is done by copying the correct `.dtbo` file to `overlays/mipi-panel.dtbo` on the boot partition. Sources live under `config/archr-dts/{original,clone,soysauce}/<MB-revision>/`; the build extracts the panel description from each revision's `rk3326-r36s-linux.dtb` via `config/mipi-generator/generator.sh`.
