Nannou: Raspberry PI 4 support

Created on 11 Jul 2019 · 4Comments · Source: nannou-org/nannou

Hello, it is more a contact than an issue. feel free to close it anytime.
I've tried to build on Raspberry PI 4 and I'm wondering if Vulkan support is the only thing stopping it from build this time.
Thanks for the beautiful project.
Here is one suggestion: it would be great to have an official Telegram group for Nannou
Cheers!

Hi @dimitre, yes Vulkan support is the single reason nannou can't be built on Raspberry PI at this stage. We have been discussing moving to gfx-hal and rendy in the future which may open up the possibility of have run on Raspberry PI's in the future.

By the way, we have a nannou Slack channel where we all hang out, feel free to join!

Also just wanted to add, there are a lot of folks eager to get Vulkan running on raspberry pi - we might get lucky and see an rpi vk driver earlier than we can get around to addressing this :crossed_fingers: That said, we're still interested in gfx-hal as targeting the web with Vulkan has a similar story right now.

Great. I've just tested with the latest, and rust nightly in RPI4
it returns

thread 'main' panicked at 'failed to create vulkan instance: IncompatibleDriver', src/libcore/result.rs:999:5
note: Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace.

@dimitre I was able to run wgpu-rs hello-compute, yet something's going on at the SwapChain creation at the level of wgpu-rs and also nannou examples: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/apinheiro/mesa/-/issues/8
