Arch R v0.1.0-alpha — First Working Build

First complete image generated by build-all.sh. Tested on R36S (Panel 4-V22).

What works

  • 19-second boot (U-Boot → EmulationStation)
  • EmulationStation at 78fps (GLES 1.0 native, Mesa Panfrost)
  • RetroArch with 18+ cores
  • Audio (speaker + headphone auto-switch)
  • Volume/brightness hotkeys
  • Battery monitoring
  • 18 panel support via DTBO overlays

Flash instructions

```bash
xz -d ArchR-R36S-20260222.img.xz
sudo dd if=ArchR-R36S-20260222.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress
```

First boot creates ROMS partition automatically. Copy ROMs to /roms/.
