The datasheets are under NDA because they give each volume customer a different datasheet. You go to a sales call and say you want X, and then their engineering department prepares a datasheet saying that their product supports X. (Obviously the hardware supports X, but it may be kind of broken, so it's easier to tell customers that don't ask for it by name that it's not there.)
