This is great. A big drawback of arm chips is that none of their GPUs seem to support OpenGL, just GLES. Being able to pair a Raspberry Pi with a dedicated GPU and shave hundreds of dollars off the price of assembling a machine is going to go far towards getting AI, or even just desktop research programs like ChimeraX, into the hands of researchers in low purchasing power markets.
- ThatPlayer 2y agoSnapdragon Adreno's freedreno GPU drivers have full OpenGL support: https://mesamatrix.net/#OpenGL https://mesamatrix.net/#OpenGL , but definitely the exception. I think you can get some support through Zink on top of Vulkan, and the Pi's Vulkan drivers have been improving.
- zjp 2y agoThanks for the pointer! I'll be trying to set up Zink and see if I can write some documentation around using it for ChimeraX.
