芯科科技发布Matter Simplicity SDK Extension v2.3.0版本

Silicon Labs（亦称“芯科科技”）持续强化软硬件产品阵容以领航Matter标准开发，并于日前发布全面支持Matter1.3最新标准的Matter Simplicity SDK Extension v2.3.0版本，通过软件更新来帮助开发人员基于Simplicity Studio加速构建Matter 1.3应用程序。新版本SDK支持面向Thread和Wi-Fi平台的Matter1.3网络设计，并引入了诸如Matter/Zigbee并发多协议（Concurrent Multi-Protocol, CMP）照明示例、长空闲时间（LongIdle Time）间歇连接设备（ICD）、Provisioning 2.0和多芯片（Multi-chip）OTA等新功能。

随着新的MatterSimplicity SDK Extension v2.3.0版本推出，芯科科技可支持开发人员采用EFR32MG24多协议无线SoC开发基于Thread的Matter 1.3设备，以及使用SiWx917 Wi-Fi 6 + 低功耗蓝牙SoC来设计Wi-Fi的Matter 1.3设备，广泛的应用包括灯，灯开关，锁，窗罩，恒温器，开/关插头，传感器和洗碗机等。

下载完成后即可安装Simplicity SDK v2024.6.0以及Silicon Labs Matter v2.3.0。对于使用SiWx917的开发者，还需要安装WiSeConnect v3.3.0。

新改版SDK亮点特性 

Matter Simplicity SDK Extension v2.3.0版本提供了在Simplicity Studio环境中构建Matter应用程序的功能。此版本面向希望在Thread（802.15.4）或Wi-Fi上运行MatterDemo的开发人员，也可以通过Simplicity Studio、SLC-CLI或VisualStudio Code手动构建示例。新版本增添功能及特性如下：

Quality-tested Matter 1.3 GA solution for Thread, Wi-Fi MG24/WF200, and Wi-Fi MG24/RS9116 (non-sleepy) platforms.     Beta solution for Wi-Fi SiWx917 and Wi-Fi MG24/RS9116 (sleepy) platforms.

Works with Simplicity SDK v2024.6.0 and WiSeConnect SDK v3.3.0.

Introduces Matter over Thread support for BRD4116A, BRD4117A, BRD4118A and BRD2608A boards from the EFR32MG26 family.

Introduces the Matter Zigbee CMP (concurrent multi-protocol) Lighting example application which demonstrates the usage of the Matter Stack alongside the Silicon Labs Zigbee stack.

Adds support for Long Idle Time ICDs.

Adds Provisioning 2.0 Support for EFR32 and SiWx917 SoC.

Provides Multi-chip OTA functionality support (EFR32-Thread only).

Added support for TA based flash storage for storing factory data in SiWx917 SoC with alpha quality.

Enabled Tickless Idle Mode and sleepy stability improvements for SiWx917 SoC.

Removes support for EFR32 Series 1 MG12 devices:  BRD4161A, BRD4162A, BRD4163A, BRD4164A, BRD4170A, BRD4166A.
