These examples are built using Open IoT SDK and runs inside an emulated target through the Arm FVP model for the Corstone-300 MPS3.
The list of currently supported Matter examples:
shell
lock-app
tv-app
all-clusters-app
ota-requestor-app
You can use these examples as a reference for creating your own applications.
The VSCode devcontainer has all the dependencies pre-installed. It is the recommended way to build, run and develop with the Open IoT SDK port of the Matter Project. Please read this VSCode development guide for more information.
Before building the examples, check out the Matter repository and sync Open IoT SDK submodules using the following command:
scripts/checkout_submodules.py --shallow --recursive --platform openiotsdk
Next, bootstrap the source tree to install Pigweed (CIPD and Python packages) components inside your environment (only once).
To bootstrap:
using CLI
$ bash scripts/bootstrap.sh
using VSCode tasks
- Open the Command Palette: F1
- Select
Tasks: Run Task
- Select
Bootstrap
Running ARM Fast Model with the TAP/TUN device networking mode requires the
setting up of proper network interfaces. Special scripts were designed to make
the setup easy. In the scripts/setup/openiotsdk
directory you can find:
-
network_setup.sh - script to create the specific network namespace and Virtual Ethernet interface to connect with the host network. Both host and namespace sides have linked IP addresses. Inside the network namespace the TAP device interface is created and bridged with a Virtual Ethernet peer. There is also an option to enable an Internet connection in the namespace by forwarding traffic to the host default interface.
To enable the Open IoT SDK networking environment:
${MATTER_ROOT}/scripts/setup/openiotsdk/network_setup.sh up
To disable the Open IoT SDK networking environment:
${MATTER_ROOT}/scripts/setup/openiotsdk/network_setup.sh down
To restart the Open IoT SDK networking environment:
${MATTER_ROOT}/scripts/setup/openiotsdk/network_setup.sh restart
The default scripts settings are:
ARM
- network base namecurrent session user
- network namespace userfe00::1
- host side IPv6 addressfe00::2
- namespace side IPv6 address10.200.1.1
- host side IPv4 address10.200.1.2
- namespace side IPv4 address- no Internet connection support to network namespace

Use
--help
to get more information about the script options.Open IoT SDK network setup is also supported via
VScode tasks
:- Open the Command Palette: F1
- Select
Tasks: Run Task
- Select
Setup Open IoT SDK network
- Enter the network namespace name
- Choose command
The VSCode task invokes
network_setup.sh
with the selected parameters. -
connect_if.sh - script that connects specified network interfaces with the default route interface. It creates a bridge and links all interfaces to it. The bridge becomes the default interface.
Example:
${MATTER_ROOT}/scripts/setup/openiotsdk/connect_if.sh ARMhveth
Use
--help
to get more information about the script options.
Open IoT SDK network setup scripts contain commands that require root
permissions. Use sudo
to run the scripts in a user account with root
privileges.
After setting up the Open IoT SDK network environment the user will be able to
run Matter examples on FVP
in an isolated network namespace in TAP device
mode.
To execute a command in a specific network namespace use the helper script
scripts/run_in_ns.sh
.
Example:
${MATTER_ROOT}/scripts/run_in_ns.sh ARMns <command to run>
Use --help
to get more information about the script options.
💡 Notes:
For Docker environment users it's recommended to use the default bridge network for a running container. This guarantees full isolation of the Open IoT SDK network from host settings.
Debugging the Matter application running on FVP
model requires GDB Remote
Connection Plugin for Fast Model. More details
GDBRemoteConnection.
The Fast Models FVP
add-on package can be downloaded from the ARM developer
website Fast models. After
login in to the ARM developer
platform search for Fast Models
, choose
Fast Models (FM000A)
on the list of results, then choose the revision
r11p16-16rel0
and download the
Third Party Add-ons for Fast Models 11.16 (Linux)
package. Then unpack the
package in the selected location on the host machine.
Now you should add the GDB Remote Connection Plugin to your development environment:
-
Linux host environment:
-
install Fast Model Extension package by executing the command
./setup.bin
, and follow the installation instructions. After installation, the GDB Remote Connection Plugin should be visible in<installation directory>/FastModelsPortfolio_11.16/plugins/Linux64_GCC-9.3
directory. -
add GDB plugin path to environment variable as
FAST_MODEL_PLUGINS_PATH
.Example:
export FAST_MODEL_PLUGINS_PATH=<installation directory>/FastModelsPortfolio_11.16/plugins/Linux64_GCC-9.3
-
-
Docker container environment:
-
pass the Fast Model Extension package to Docker container development environment by mounting it into the
/opt/FastModels_ThirdParty_IP_11-16_b16_Linux64
directory in the container. Add a volume bound to this directory Add local file mount.You can edit the
.devcontainer/devcontainer.json
file, for example:... "mounts": [ ... "source=/opt/FastModels_ThirdParty_IP_11-16_b16_Linux64,target=/opt/FastModels_ThirdParty_IP_11-16_b16_Linux64,type=bind,consistency=cached" ... ], ...
Or if you launch the Docker container directly from CLI, use the above arguments with
docker run
command:docker run ... --mount type=bind,source=/opt/FastModels_ThirdParty_IP_11-16_b16_Linux64,target=/opt/FastModels_ThirdParty_IP_11-16_b16_Linux64 ...
-
install the Fast Model Extension package via setup script inside Docker container:
${MATTER_ROOT}/scripts/setup/openiotsdk/debugging_setup.sh
-
the GDB Remote Connection Plugin should be visible in
/opt/FastModelsPortfolio_11.16/plugins/Linux64_GCC-9.3
directory.- For
VScode devcontainer
use the environment variableFAST_MODEL_PLUGINS_PATH
to point to the correct directory. - If the Docker container is directly launched remember to add the GDB
Remote Connection Plugin path to the environment variable
FAST_MODEL_PLUGINS_PATH
inside the container:export FAST_MODEL_PLUGINS_PATH=/opt/FastModelsPortfolio_11.16/plugins/Linux64_GCC-9.3
- For
-
The Matter Python packages are required for the integration test suite. They are not provided as part of the VSCode devcontainer. To install these run the following command from the CLI:
${MATTER_ROOT}/scripts/run_in_build_env.sh \
'./scripts/build_python.sh --install_virtual_env out/venv'
source out/venv/bin/activate
More information about the Python tools you can find here.
Matter examples support the [TF-M](https://tf-m-user-guide.trusted firmware.org) by default.
This means the example is built as non-secure application in a Non-secure
Processing Environment (NSPE
). The bootloader and the secure part are also
built from TF-M
sources. All components are merged into a single executable
file at the end of the building process.
The project-specific configuration of TF-M
can be provide by defining its own
header file for TF-M
config and passing the path to it via the
TFM_PROJECT_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE
variable.
set(TFM_PROJECT_CONFIG_HEADER_FILE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/tf-m-config/TfmProjectConfig.h")
If the project-specific configuration is not provided the base TF-M
settings
are used
config_base.h.
It can be used as a pattern for the custom configuration header.
You can also provide your own version of a Matter example by setting the
TFM_NS_APP_VERSION
variable.
set(TFM_NS_APP_VERSION "0.0.1")
The persistent storage is required to store key-value data of the Matter examples.
Two storage types are supported:
- Block device storage: The memory partition is located in
non-secure SRAM
TF-M
protected storage: The memory partition is located insecure QSPI_RAM
Fast models offers option to load and dump memory content. More details are
available
here.
Depending on the storage implementation, different flags are used in the FVP
options.
For TF-M
protected storage use:
--dump mps3_board.qspi_sram=<file-path>@0:0x660000,0x12000
--data mps3_board.qspi_sram=<file-path>@0:0x660000
💡 Notes:
The
file-path
must exist to use the--data
option.
Open IoT SDK build script
provides the -K,--kvsfile
option to use the persistence options listed above.
Open IoT SDK port supports two crypto backend implementations:
- Mbed TLS - it's the default option
- PSA crypto service from the TrustedFirmware-M (TF-M) component
The CMake variable CONFIG_CHIP_CRYPTO
controls how cryptographic operations
are implemented in Matter. It accepts two values:
mbedtls
: use Mbed TLS for crypto operations.psa
: use PSA Cryptography API for crypto operations.
This variable can be set in the main application CMakeLists.txt
:
set(CONFIG_CHIP_CRYPTO <mbedtls | psa>)
The variable can also be defined with CMake CLI:
cmake -G <...> -DCONFIG_CHIP_CRYPTO=<mbedtls | psa> <...>
💡 Notes:
The
TF-M PSA crypto
option requires enabling TF-M support.
Device Firmware Update (DFU
) can be enabled in the application by setting the
CONFIG_CHIP_OPEN_IOT_SDK_OTA_ENABLE
variable:
set(CONFIG_CHIP_OPEN_IOT_SDK_OTA_ENABLE YES)
This provides the proper service for Matter's OTA Requestor
cluster. The
TF-M Firmware Update Service
is the backend for all firmware update operations. The DFU Manager
module is
attached to the application and allows full usage of the OTA Requestor
cluster.
You can also provide your own version of the Matter example to the Matter stack
by setting CONFIG_CHIP_OPEN_IOT_SDK_SOFTWARE_VERSION
and
CONFIG_CHIP_OPEN_IOT_SDK_SOFTWARE_VERSION_STRING
variables.
set(CONFIG_CHIP_OPEN_IOT_SDK_SOFTWARE_VERSION "1")
set(CONFIG_CHIP_OPEN_IOT_SDK_SOFTWARE_VERSION_STRING "0.0.1")
The default value for CONFIG_CHIP_OPEN_IOT_SDK_SOFTWARE_VERSION_STRING
is set
to TFM_NS_APP_VERSION
.
💡 Notes:
The
DFU
option requires enabling TF-M support.
You can build examples using the dedicated VSCode task or by calling directly the build script from the command line.
- Open the Command Palette: F1

The application runs in the background and opens a telnet session. The telnet
client connects to the port used by the FVP
. When the telnet process is
terminated it also terminates the FVP
instance.
To exit the telnet session, type CTRL + ]. This changes the command prompt to show as:
telnet>
Back in the terminal, type in the word 'close' to terminate the session.
telnet> close
You can run an example by using a VSCode task or by calling the run script directly from the command line.
- Open the Command Palette: F1
- Select
Tasks: Run Task

Before debugging ensure the following:
-
The debug environment is correctly setup: debugging setup.
-
The example is compiled with debug symbols enabled:
For CLI:
${MATTER_ROOT}/scripts/examples/openiotsdk_example.sh -d true <example name>
For the VSCode task:
=> Use debug mode (true)
-
The test network is correctly setup (if required): see networking setup.
- Click
Run and Debug
from the primary side menu or press Ctrl+Shift+D - Select
Debug Open IoT SDK example application
from the drop down list - Click
Start Debugging
(green triangle) or press F5 - Choose example name
- Enter GDB target address
- Enter network namespace
- Enter network interface
- Choose example name
As soon as a debugging session starts, the DEBUG CONSOLE
panel is displayed
and shows the debugging output. Use debug controls to debug the current
application.
For debugging remote targets (i.e. run in other network namespaces) you need to pass the hostname/IP address of the external GDB target that you want to connect to (GDB target address).
In the case of using the Open IoT SDK network environment the GDB server runs inside a namespace and has the same IP address as the bridge interface.
${MATTER_ROOT}/scripts/run_in_ns.sh <namespace_name> ifconfig <bridge_name>
The network namespace name and TAP interface name are also required then.
The application with GDB Remote Connection Plugin runs in the background and
opens a telnet session in terminal. The telnet client connects to the port used
by the FVP
. When the telnet process is terminated it will also terminate the
FVP
instance.
To exit the telnet session, type CTRL + ]. This changes the command prompt to show as:
telnet>
Back in the terminal, type in the word 'close' to terminate the session.
telnet> close
💡 Notes:
As you can see above, you will need to select the name of the example twice. This is because the debug task needs to launch the run task and currently VS code has no way of passing parameters between tasks.
There are issues with debugging examples when the Docker container use the network host and VPN connection is established. Changing routing negatively affects debugging process. It is recommended not to use VPN connections while debugging.

This chapter describes how to add a new Matter example based on Open IoT SDK platform.
In the description below we use the placeholder example_name
as the name of
the example to create. Replace it with the name of your example.
💡 Notes:
Remember to update the list of currently supported Matter examples at the top of this document.
A new example should be put into examples/<example_name>/openiotsdk
directory.
It should contain:
- application source files and headers in the
main
sub-directory - application
CMakeLists.txt
file .gitignore
file with with all sources to skipREADME.md
file with example description- additional directories with required configuration for used components. Use
component_name-config
pattern, e.gfreertos-config
A new application target name should be created with
chip-openiotsdk-<example_name>-example(_ns)
pattern. The _ns
suffix is
required for TF-M applications.
Example:
set(APP_TARGET chip-openiotsdk-new-example-example_ns)
Add a new example name to the list in the
examples/platform/openiotsdk/supported_examples.txt
file. After that the new
example is available in all necessary tools such as helper script
scripts/examples/openiotsdk_example.sh
or VSCode tasks.
Example:
...
example_name
...
To add a new example to the Matter CI edit the
.github/workflows/examples-openiotsdk.yaml
file and add the next step for
openiotsdk
job step that build this example.
Example:
...
- name: Build new-example example
id: build_new_example
