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/v2.5.0
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:

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:
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:
Matter Bootloader Binaries#
All Silicon Labs board supporting Matter require that a bootloader binary is flashed to the 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:
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:
Note: SiWx917 NCP board need to be flashed with proper firmware as mentioned below:
SiWG917-B.2.x.X.X.X.rps - This firmware image is valid for BRD8045A (B0 Expansion v2.0) board
SiWx917 Firmware for SiWx917 SoC#
The SiWx917 firmware (SiWx917SOC_firmware_files.zip) along with WiSeConnect 3 SDK is used to update the SiWx917 SoC which can be found in the Assets section of this page:
Note: SiWx917 SoC boards need to be flashed with proper firmware as mentioned below:
SiWG917-B.2.x.X.X.X.rps - This firmware image is valid for BRD4338A(B0 common flash v2.0) board
Matter SiWx917 RCP Linux app and Configuration file#
The SiWx917 RCP folder (siwx917_rcp_files.zip) contains the Matter Linux all-cluster-app, which can be run on a Raspberry Pi, and the wfx-sdio-overlay.dts file, a Device Tree Source file used to configure the SDIO interface on the Raspberry Pi to detect and communicate with the SiWx917 RCP.

SiWx917 SoC Configuration Files For JLink RTT Logging#
To check device logs on JLink RTT 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.
