Could nRF52833 support matter?

nRF52840 can support matter (BLE + Thread).

it is noted at https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/tree/master/examples/lock-app/nrfconnect

even that have a demo : https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/connected-home-over-ip-sneak-peek-of-early-development-on-nrf52840

My question is nRF52833 support matter too?

If 52833 don't support matter, Is there any reason?

(As I know, 52833 share SDK with 52840, but 52833 have a half memory comparing with 52840...)

  • Hi Thierry,

    The Matter NCS architecture can basically explain your two questions.  The Matter protocol is a kind of application-level protocol on top of Thread and BLE(mainly for commissioning) protocols, so

    In case we are using the nRF52833 as a network co-processor in addition with a Linux host processor to make a Gateway device, can we support matter in that case ?

    You can use nRF52833 as Thread NCP for your Matter project.

    Does the ZBOSS NCP host package includes (or will include) the support of Matter (using nRF82833 or 52840) ?

     No, Matter protocol is created by Project CHIP(Project Connected Home over IP), Zigbee is not IP based, so Thread is chosen.

    Best regards,
