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.

Images for the items listed below are available under the "Assets" section at the bottom of this page:

https://github.com/SiliconLabs/matter_extension/releases/tag/v2.3.1

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 ~7GB in size so depending on your internet connection this download may take some time. Start the Matter Hub Raspberry Pi image download here:

SiWx917 SoC Configuration Files For JLink RTT Logging#

In order to check device logs for the Matter Application on the SiWx917 SoC, the JLink RTT must be configured for the SiWx917 SoC device by following the instructions on the JLink RTT SOC Support for SiWx917 SoC.

The JLinkDevices.xml and RS9117_SF_4MB_42bsp.elf files referenced in the instructions may be found in the Assets section of this page.

Note:- For EFR32MG2x devices, JLink RTT Logging support is already enabled.
