Is it possible to use Vertex Array Objects on Raspberry Pi?

Is it possible to use Vertex Array Objects on Raspberry Pi? Can I load it as extension?

Solution

  • According to the the eginfo here:

    The Raspberry Pi supports OpenGL ES 2.0 with the following extensions:

    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

    "Nominal" OpenGL ES 2.0 doesn't support Vertex Array Objects. The extension that provides support for it is OES_vertex_array_object, which isn't in this list. So, no, you can't use them on Raspberry Pi.
