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. The majority of these artifacts can be found under the “Assets” section on the release page here:

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 ~2GB 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 here:

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 here:

https://github.com/SiliconLabs/matter/releases/download/v2.3.0-1.3/matter-accessory-device-images_2.3.0-1.3.zip

For Matter over Thread, 3 different types of images are provided:

  1. Standard: Includes all code including enabling the LCD for a QR Code that can be used for commissioning.

  2. Release: A smaller image size with reduced functionality, including removal of the LCD support, thus no QR Code.

  3. 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:
