Features

This is the Silicon Labs Matter v2.0.0-1.1 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.

  • To get started, download Simplicity Studio from the following link: Simplicity Studio, and install GSDK 4.3.0, along with Silicon Labs Matter v2.0.0.

Highlights of this release

  • Quality-tested Matter 1.1 solution for Thread (MG12, MG24), and Wi-Fi NCP platforms (MG24/RS9116, MG24/WF200, MG24/SiWx917).
  • This release works with GSDK 4.3 release.
  • Proven to work for both Thread and Wi-Fi in the Google and Apple ecosystems (see the Ecosystem section below).
  • Adds RS9116 and SiWx917 NCP BLE support.
  • Adds Wi-Fi Direct internet connectivity support for all non-sleepy standard Wi-Fi applications only.
  • 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 Custom Part Manufacturing Service (CPMS).
  • Improves sleepy performance.

Issues fixed in this release

  • GBL files were previously not generated from application binaries. 
  • The "Copy Content" option was previously not supported in the creation of a new Matter project in Simplicity Studio.

General

  • Quick-start guides are provided for running pre-compiled demos and for building examples manually.
  • The Developer's Guide provides information on various technical topics.
