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. These artifacts can be used in both the [SIMPLICITY STUDIO] & [GITHUB] use cases.
Matter Hub Raspberry Pi Image#
[SIMPLICITY STUDIO] & [GITHUB]
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#
[GITHUB]
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/v1.0.5-1.0
[SIMPLICITY STUDIO] It is possible to build the Radio Co-Processor of your choice from within Simplicity Studio using the Thread stack in the Gecko SDK (GSDK). More information on creating an RCP image in Simplicity Studio is provided in AN1256.
Matter Accessory Device Images#
[GITHUB]
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/v1.0.5-1.0
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.
[SIMPLICITY STUDIO]
Matter Accessory Device Images are also provided as "Demos" in the Matter GSDK extension. For more information on using MAD images in Simplicity Studio look at the Simplicity Studio Documentation included in this reference. For more information on using Simplicity Studio and the Launcher look at the Simplicity Studio Documentation, available on docs.silabs.com.
Matter Bootloader Binaries#
[SIMPLICITY STUDIO] & [GITHUB]
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:
https://github.com/SiliconLabs/matter/releases/tag/v1.0.5-1.0
RS9116 Firmware#
[SIMPLICITY STUDIO] & [GITHUB]
The RS9116 firmware is used to update the RS9116 - it can be found in the
repository you have cloned, at the following relative path from the /matter
directory, ./third_party/silabs/wiseconnect-wifi-bt-sdk/firmware
SiWx917 Firmware#
[SIMPLICITY STUDIO] & [GITHUB]
SiWx917 Firmware(rps) images are available in the Assets section of this page:
https://github.com/SiliconLabs/matter/releases/tag/v1.0.5-1.0
