Versions  

These versions are automatically included with our Matter release, listed here for informational purposes only.

  • Matter: v1.4 (fd2d000)
  • Simplicity SDK: v2024.12.0
  • GCC compiler version: 12.2.1
  • Thread
    • Silicon Labs OpenThread: v2.6.0.0 (7f6723ffb)
    • ot-br-posix (7d327005e)
  • Wi-Fi
    • WiSeConnect 3 SDK: v3.4.0 (SiWx917 SoC, SiWx917 NCP)
    • WiSeConnect SDK: v2.10.3 (RS9116)
    • WF200 does not use WiSeConnect SDK, it uses Simplicity SDK components

Features 

This is the Silicon Labs Matter v2.5.0-1.4 release, which provides the functionality to build Matter applications in the Simplicity Studio environment. 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 through Simplicity Studio, SLC-CLI or Visual Studio Code.

This release is certifiable to the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) Matter 1.4 certification program (https://csa-iot.org/) for Thread (MG24 / MG26) and Wi-Fi NCP platform (MG24/WF200).

This release supports series 2 devices. Alpha support for series 3 is also enabled. Use v2.2.x-1.2 for series 1 devices.

Highlights of this release 

  • Quality-tested Matter 1.4 GA solution for Thread MG24 / MG26, Wi-Fi MG24/WF200 and Wi-Fi MG24/RS9116 (non-sleepy). 
    • For Wi-Fi SiWx917 SoC and RCP mode, this is an Alpha. Basic functionality works but there are issues with stress testing, for details see the Known Issues section. If GA quality is desired, use v2.4.0 release until the v2.5.1 patch is available.
  • Works with Simplicity SDK v2024.12.0 and WiSeConnect SDK v3.4.0.
  • Expands our existing Matter support in Thread with new hardware and software capabilities.
    • xG26 support is enabled for BRD4350A module, BRD4351A module, and BRD2709A Explorer Kit.
    • SixG301 Alpha support is enabled for BRD1019A.
    • GA support of the Matter Zigbee CMP (concurrent multi-protocol) Light example application.
      • Some limitations exist, for details see the Known Issues section.
  • Expands our existing Matter support in Wi-Fi with new hardware and software capabilities.
    • Improved power numbers for the Wi-Fi SiWx917 SoC with the Selective Listening feature.
    • Refrigerator application and Dimmer switch application support has been added for SiWx917.
    • SiWx917 SoC module board support is enabled for BRD4343A and BRD2708A.
    • SiWx917 NCP board support is enabled for BRD4357A. Matter uses this board as an RCP; LwIP task runs on the EFR32.
    • Matter SiWx917 RCP Linux Host support has been added.
    • The mbedTLS library has been upgraded from 2.x to 3.x for the SiWx917.
  • DX Improvement: Added conformance data to Matter XML files and a 'Device Type Features' page in ZAP. Toggling a feature auto-updates the featureMap and aligns attributes, commands, and events to correct conformance plus shows detailed conformance warnings for them if their enabled state conflicts with conformance value.
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements.

Issues fixed in this release

  • DAC size was previously limited to 512 bytes. This is now increased to 600 bytes as required by the specs, section 6.1.3. Certificate Sizes. (UID: 1377303)
  • The Zigbee Matter Light app now stores the proper value for kConfigKey_UniqueID which is used by the Basic Information cluster. (UID: 1362463)
  • Corrected an issue where the function sl_memory_get_heap_high_watermark() may sometimes return the wrong value. (UID: 1354963)
  • Resolved compilation issues in Matter over Wi-Fi projects when buttons or LED components are disabled. (UID: 1368663)
  • Fixed a possible crash with the multi-sensor app after commissioning with the Apple HomePod app. (UID: 1362893)
  • Resolved a race condition that could rarely prevent an ICD Matter over Thread device from going to sleep for a polling duration. (UID: 1362030)
  • Corrected an issue in SSv5 where the Zigbee Matter Light app would fail to build if the option "Copy contents" was used for the SDK. (UID: 1348601)
  • Fixed an issue where a Matter over Thread device may report the wrong current consumption values between polls. (UID: 1336943)

Releases notes may be truncated on GitHub. Full text can be found: github.com/SiliconLabs/matter_extension/releases/tag/v2.3.1

Versions  

These versions are automatically included with our Matter release, listed here for informational purposes only.

  • Matter: v1.3 (5bb5c9e)
  • Simplicity SDK: v2024.6.1
  • GCC compiler version: 12.2.1
  • Thread
    • Silicon Labs OpenThread: v2.5.1.0 (1fceb225b)
    • ot-br-posix (e56c02006)
  • Wi-Fi
    • WiSeConnect 3 SDK: v3.3.1 (SiWx917 SoC, SiWx917 NCP)
    • WiSeConnect SDK: v2.10.0 (RS9116)
    • WF200 does not use WiSeConnect SDK, it uses Simplicity SDK components

Features 

This is the Silicon Labs Matter v2.3.1-1.3 release, which provides the functionality to build Matter applications in the Simplicity Studio environment. 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 through Simplicity Studio, SLC-CLI or Visual Studio Code.

This release is certifiable to the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) Matter 1.3 certification program (https://csa-iot.org/) for Thread (MG24 / MG26), Wi-Fi 917 SoC and NCP platform (MG24/WF200).

This release supports only series 2 devices. Series 3 will come in a future release. Use v2.2.x-1.2 for series 1 devices.

  • To get started, download Simplicity Studio from the following link: https://www.silabs.com/developers/simplicity-studio, and install Simplicity SDK v2024.6.1 along with Silicon Labs Matter v2.3.1. For SiWx917, install WiSeConnect v3.3.1 as well.
    • If using WiseConnect v2.3.2 instead of WiseConnect v2.3.1, soc_configuration_enable component will need to be manually added to SiWx917 SoC projects for the compilation to pass. This component can be installed through the Simplicity Studio UI: WiseConnect3 SDK v3.3.2 -> Device -> Si91x -> MCU -> Core -> ENABLE USER CONFIGURATION.

Highlights of this release

Silicon Labs Matter Extension v2.2.0-1.2

This release is only supported for use with Simplicity Studio. Standalone GitHub builds using Ninja are not supported.

Documentation can be viewed at: docs.silabs.com/matter/2.2.0

Releases notes may be truncated on GitHub. Full text can be found here: github.com/SiliconLabs/matter_extension/releases/tag/v2.2.0

Versions

These versions are automatically included with our Matter release, listed here for informational purposes only.

  • Matter: d140d5c8775
  • Gecko SDK: v4.4.0
  • Thread
    • Silicon Labs OpenThread: v2.4.0.0 (7074a43e4)
  • Wi-Fi
    • WiSeConnect 3 SDK: v3.1.1 (SiWx917 SoC, SiWx917 NCP)
    • WiSeConnect SDK: v2.8.2 (RS9116)
    • WF200 does not use WiSeConnect SDK, it uses Gecko SDK components

Features

This is the Silicon Labs Matter v2.2.0-1.2 release, which provides the functionality to build Matter applications in the Simplicity Studio environment. 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 through Simplicity Studio, SLC-CLI or Visual Studio Code.

This release is certifiable to the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA)'s Matter 1.2 certification program (https://csa-iot.org/) for Thread (MG12, MG24) and Wi-Fi NCP platforms (MG24/RS9116, MG24/WF200).
