Features

This is the v2.3.0-1.3-beta.1 release of the Silicon Labs Matter GitHub repo. This release is intended for developers who wish to run a Matter Demo over Thread (15.4) or Wi-Fi, and also manually build examples on the command line and through VS Code.

  • To get started, read these release notes for features and known issues and follow the README for instructions on how to run demos and build examples.
  • For issues, log them on the issues tab of the repo.

Release Highlights

  • Matter 1.3 Beta1 solution for Thread (MG12, MG24), Wi-Fi NCP platforms (MG24/RS9116, MG24/WF200, MG24/SiWx917) and Wi-Fi SoC platform (SiWx917).
    • Provides incremental bug fixes to support Matter 1.3 Test Event.
    • Provides alpha support for multi-OTA framework.
  • Works using Gecko SDK v4.4.1 and WiSeConnect SDK v3.1.3.2.
  • Provides targeted improvements in stability & sleep functionality for Wi-Fi SoC platform (SiWx917).
    • Added partial low-power 917 stability fixes. Some stability fixes are associated with increased power consumption.
      • Stability improvements have been added for both the TA and M4.
      • TA workaround with XTAL always enabled.
      • Tickless idle support feature has been enabled.

This is the v2.0.0-1.1 release of the Silicon Labs Matter GitHub repo. This release is intended for developers who wish to run a Matter Demo over Thread (15.4) or Wi-Fi, and also manually build examples on the command line and through VS Code.

  • To get started, read these release notes for features and known issues and follow the README for instructions on how to run demos and build examples.
  • For issues, log them on the issues tab of the repo.

Highlights of this release

  • Quality-tested Matter 1.1 GA solution for Thread (MG12, MG24), and Wi-Fi NCP platforms (MG24/RS9116, MG24/WF200, MG24/SiWx917) and Wi-Fi SoC platform (SiWx917).
  • Proven to work for both Thread and Wi-Fi in the Google and Apple ecosystems (see the Ecosystem section below).
  • An outline of new features included in this release is provided in the New Features section of the documentation.
  • Adds Wi-Fi Direct internet connectivity support for all standard applications.
  • Adds Wi-Fi Sleepy End Devices (SED) support for selected applications (see the 'Wi-Fi support for the following standard applications' section below).  
  • Adds support for Matter Shell, device rebooting on the SiWx917 SoC Dual Flash Device.  
  • Adds support for Commander tool v1.14.5 flashing image (.s37, .rps) on the SiWx917 SoC
  • Adds Unify Matter Bridge with full support for Lighting Devices and Sensors.
  • The release binary of the Unify Matter Bridge is now a 64-bit ARM binary compiled for Debian Bullseye.
  • Adds support for Matter Custom Part Manufacturing Service (CPMS).
  • Improved sleepy performance.

Issues fixed in this release

  • Simplicity Commander generation of .gbl files for Matter apps fails, preventing app signing and secure boot. There is a workaround for v1.1.0-1.1, but Silicon Labs recommends updating to v2.0.0-1.1. (UID: 1113978)
  • Due to an issue in Thread building, Matter apps with is_debug=false could not commission on MG24. Incorporating the certified OpenThread library with --use_ot_lib option was a workaround in SMG v1.1.0-1.1, corrected in SMGv2.0.0-1.1. (UID: 1129676)
