What you need

  1. A prepared Matter Developement Environement

    This will bring all necessary build and flash tools as well as Matter SDK

  2. A built and functionnal Matter python controller

  3. A built and running OpenThread Border Router

  4. A Silicon Labs Wireless Starter Kit which can support Matter developments

    Full list is available on this page

    Important Note: Due to RAM limitations, Matter support on EFR32MG21 platform is now deprecated

    Preferred and most economic option being our Thunderboard Sense 2

Getting Started

  1. cd to your home directory if not already there : 
    cd ~/
  2. Create a dedicated folder within your ~/matter_dev directory for this development purpose 
    mkdir ~/matter_dev
cd ~/matter_dev

  3. If not done, prepare a Matter development environment following this guide

    This is the base of any Matter, tools and implementation, developments

  4. Also, build a Matter python controller following this guide

    This will allow us to commission our Matter device on the Border Router Thread network

  5. If not already done either, build an OpenThread Border Router compatible with Matter following this guide

    This will need an extra Starter kit as well as a dedicated running Linux based environment

    The referenced guide uses a dedicated Raspberry Pi 4 in addition to one Thunderboard Sense 2

Once you have done all of the above, you are ready to start
