EGL_BAD_CONFIG When Creating A PixelBuffer

Question

I am having trouble creating a PixelBuffer in OpenGL ESv2.

If my config specifies EGL_WINDOW_BIT I can successfully call eglCreateContext. However, when using EGL_PBUFFER_BIT I am getting an EGL_BAD_CONFIG.

I am working with an embedded system where I will be calling OpenGL ESv2 to do some GPGPU. I do not have a windowing system to render to so I feel that I must use PixelBuffers. My rendering calls render directly to a FBO with an attached Texture2D as the color buffer.

I am out of ideas on what's wrong with my configuration or how I can adjust it. Any advice would be great. Thank you.

Answer 1

I ended up writing a function to print out all my possible configurations. It turns out that even though glChooseConfiguration was returning GL_TRUE, it wasn't returning a configuration.

I wasn't getting any configurations.

OpenGL ES emulator apparently does not support PixelBuffers for OpenGL ES v2, only v1
