Does anyone know if PBO are supported through extension on the Pi with GLES2.0? I searched the header files and see the defines in GL/glext.h that I would expect, but before I go down that path, I want to make sure it works.

What I am specifically working on is looking at experimenting with pushing video frames into a texture, and using a PBO so I can have asynchronous GL usage of that data. I want to see how well that performs since the current method I am using blocks the GL pipeline until the transfer is complete.

There's no appropriate extension for PBO reported by the driver. GL/glext.h won't tell you anything about GLES2 extensions, for that you need GLES2/gl2ext.h but that still won't tell you if the driver actually implements any of them, for that you need to query the driver with

Code: Select all

const GLubyte* available_extensions = glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS);

and see if the required extension GL_NV_pixel_buffer_object is listed in the string. The ones supported by the Broadcom driver are :-

Code: Select all

GL_OES_compressed_ETC1_RGB8_texture GL_OES_compressed_paletted_texture GL_OES_texture_npot GL_OES_depth24 GL_OES_vertex_half_float GL_OES_EGL_image GL_OES_EGL_image_external GL_EXT_discard_framebuffer GL_OES_rgb8_rgba8 GL_OES_depth32 GL_OES_mapbuffer GL_EXT_texture_format_BGRA8888 GL_APPLE_rgb_422 GL_EXT_debug_marker

The example code in /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_videocube shows video decoding into a texture.

My project is based on V4L2, so I am not using OMX. I spent some time trying to get glCreateImageKHR and it doesn't appear to be supported.

My curiosity with PBO was for reading in/out asynchronously, but not seeing it in the list means that is probably a dead end for now. Thanks.
