Armbian does not accept new boards for official support unless there is funding involved.

However anyone from the community can step up and add it as community-supported.

[Dantes]

Oh right, I forgot about that.

 

Luckily the rk3576 is already maturing in the Linux kernel.

In that case we will just hope for the best.

 

Thank you for your time.

There is no board option for the R76S yet and I cannot post an issue without one.

 

Images tested:

• Armbian 25.8.2 Noble Gnome
  • Seems to work all right
• Armbian 25.8.2 Trixie Minimal / IOTX
  • Xorg: cannot run in framebuffer mode. (card /dev/dri/card0), cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support.
• Armbian 25.8.2 Trixie XFCE
  • Xorg: cannot run in framebuffer mode. (card /dev/dri/card0), cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support.

It was tremendous fun

Hi,

 

Thanks for reporting this. Could you please open a thread with all the details? Screenshots and logs would be greatly appreciated 

 

Talk soon.

[Dantes]

Screenshot from something working? because everything is black, cursor left upper corner.

I have Xorg log, if you need other logs please specify the ones you need.

 

edit: this is from the Armbian 25.8.2 Trixie XFCE 1.3GB image installed to emmc.

 

Xorg.tgz

From desktops I tested Gnome - works.

Taken from desktop Gnome - works 

 

 

 

 

 

Updated the showip alias for those interested.

Looks better now

Can't say I know much about X11, but after playing around with the Cinnamon version I did get a desktop by:

 

created file:/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Device0"
    Driver "fbdev"
    Option "Device" "/dev/dri/card0"
EndSection

 

So I figure something in the configuration or driver related ?. And that goes for all Debian flavors I tested. All gave the same error.
