Matter Software Artifacts
This page provides links to pre-built software image “artifacts” that can be used to set up the Matter Demo for the Thread and Wi-Fi use cases.
Matter Hub Raspberry Pi Image
The Matter Hub image is intended to be flashed onto an SD card for a Raspberry Pi. The Matter Hub Image provides both an Open Thread Border Router and the Matter chip-tool. Note the image is ~10GB in size so depending on your internet connection this download may take some time. Start the Matter Hub Raspberry Pi image download here:

Radio Co-Processor (RCP) Images
The Radio Co-Processor firmware is used to turn an EFR into an RCP that can be used with a Raspberry Pi to allow the Raspberry Pi’s Open Thread Border Router to access the Thread network. Radio Co-Processor (RCP) images are available in the Assets section of this page:
https://github.com/SiliconLabs/matter/releases/tag/v2.2.0-1.2
Matter Accessory Device Images
The Matter Accessory Device Images are used to turn an EFR into a Matter device. These are pre-built binary images for the Matter Demo. Matter Accessory Device Images are located in the Assets section of this page:
https://github.com/SiliconLabs/matter/releases/tag/v2.2.0-1.2
For Matter over Thread, 3 different types of images are provided:
Standard: Includes all code including enabling the LCD for a QR Code that can be used for commissioning.
Release: A smaller image size with reduced functionality, including removal of the LCD support, thus no QR Code.
Sleepy: A sleepy device image for improved energy efficiency and running on battery power.
Matter Bootloader Binaries
If you are using the OTA functionality and especially if you are using an EFR32MG2x device, you will need to flash a bootloader binary on your device along with the application image. Bootloader binaries for all of the Matter supported devices are available here:

RS9116 Firmware
The RS9116 firmware (rs9116_firmware_files_with_rev.zip) is used to update the RS9116 which can be found in the Assets section of this page:
https://github.com/SiliconLabs/matter/releases/tag/v2.2.0-1.2
Note: RS9116 chip/module needs to be flashed with proper firmware as mentioned below:
RS916.x.x.x.x.x.rps - This firmware image is valid for RS9116 1.5 revision chip/moduleRS9116.x.x.x.x.x.rps - This firmware image is valid for RS9116 1.4/1.3 revision chip/module
SiWx917 Firmware for SiWx917 NCP
The SiWx917 firmware(SiWx917NCP_firmware_files.zip) is used to update the SiWx917 NCP which can be found in the Assets section of this page:
https://github.com/SiliconLabs/matter/releases/tag/v2.2.0-1.2
Note: SiWx917 NCP board need to be flashed with proper firmware as mentioned below:

SiWx917 SoC Configuration Files for Flashing the Matter Application
In order to flash the Matter Application on the SiWx917 SoC, the Ozone Debugger must be configured for the SiWx917 SoC device by following the instructions on the Ozone Environment Setup for SiWx917 SoC page.
The JLinkDevices.xml and ELF files referenced in the instructions may be found in the Assets section of this page:
