No, only UCI protocol is supported. You can try this on linux with liground GUI: https://github.com/mtaktikos/Pikafish/releases If you really want to use xboard, consider using fairy-stockfish.
I wrote a guide on how to use Pikafish with Xboard here, you can check out if you are interested.
Describe the issue
I tried Pikafish.2023-02-16 on xboard 4.9.1 on ubuntu 20.04 and there is this error: variant xiangqi not supported by Pikafish dev 2023-02-16. What a pity! Why stop supporting linux? What is the last version that supports xboard?
Thank you.
Expected behavior
latest version support for xboard.
Steps to reproduce
xboard -variant xiangqi -ubt true -lbtf /usr/share/games/xboard/themes/textures/xqboard-9x10.png -dbtf /usr/share/games/xboard/themes/textures/xqboard-9x10.png -pid /usr/share/games/xboard/themes/xiangqi -trueColors true -overrideLineGap 0 -fcp /home/name/Downloads/Pikafish.2023-02-16/linux/pikafish-modern -fUCI
