1. Overview
The following figure (from CSA) illustrates a general network topology and the different device types.
Matter network topology |
---|
A Matter fabric platform is composed of different equipment types:
- Matter end device
- Matter bridge
- Simple Controller
- Simple Thread Border Router
- Combined Controller and Border Router
The STM end devices have been demonstrated with the following platforms:
- STM OTBR
- Raspberry Pi (RPi)
- Google ecosystem
- Apple ecosystem
- Samsung ecosystem
For test and demonstration, the STM32WB5MM-DK end device platform will be flashed with lighting up application. The operation mode for each ecosystem is presented in the following section.
For all ecosystems, the Matter network will be composed of the following elements:
- 1 x STM32WB5MM-DK board as end device that has been flashed with relevant firmware binaries
- 1 x OpenThread border router
- 1 x Smartphone with the ecosystem associated application installed as a Matter commissioner/controller device
- 1 x Wi-Fi access point
- 1 x PC/Laptop for log and power up the STM32WB5MM-DK, or simply an alimentation device for powering up the STM32WB5MM-DK
