Hi All,
I’ve just started a new home project and I’m coming across some compile/running issues when following the instructions for getting started on the (raspberry pi | openFrameworks) page, due partly to the page being a little dated, and me using a RPi Zero W.
Rather than focus on the problem I have at hand which I can probably fix by searching the forum, I thought it might be good to widen out the idea and try and get a discussion going on what are the best practices for getting the best performance out of the hardware…
My thought is that if you have this device RPi-XX, what are the steps to follow to get the best performance?
Things I think it would need to cover should include:
OS: Stretch / Buster / RaspberryPi OS (or other)
oF version: a specific version say 0.10.0 or latest currently 0.11.2
Window system: EGL / GLFW
GL type: GL / GLES
Specific Addons: eg ofxRPI4Window
Changes to oF: eg what to change if the shader examples in the distro are the wrong GL/GLES version
Personally (because I have these to hand 
) I’d like to cover at least these commonly used RPi models: Zero/ZeroW, 3A+, 3B+ and 4B.
Not sure what the final outcome would be, perhaps a Wiki page or feeding directly back to the oF guys with updates to the RPi setup page with model specific guides?
Perhaps this thread is a good starting point, and if people post what they have found to work well covering the 6 topics listed above. I’d be happy to set aside some of my time to test combinations with the hardware I have, and get notes written up, and do some benchmarking.
If there are specific example apps that people think would work well for benchmarks let me know, I think a geometry heavy app and shader example would be an ideal starting point.
