- Upgraded to more recent Matter stack: https://github.com/Qorvo/connectedhomeip/tree/v0.9.9.1 - This Matter stack is used during Specification Validation Event (SVE) 1.
- Matter lock application is updated to work with the Doorlock cluster instead of the OnOff cluster.
- Improvements done in the Over-The-Air upgrade flow to be compliant with the OTA test plan.
- Disabled Bluetooth LE advertising after reset when the Matter device is already part of a fabric. This change was needed to be Matter standard compliant.
- Implemented Identify cluster and OnOff cluster effects at application level for the Matter light.
- Added application note that describes how to move towards a production build configuration. Shows how logs can get disabled and how the assertion system can be updated to go into a reset sequence for production builds.
- Fixed SDP011-943: Defragmentation issue in the non-volatile memory component is fixed in the Key Value Storage glue layer (KVS).
- Fixed SDP011-980: Added further cluster support for Binding, Unit localisation, User label and Fixed label clusters.
- SDP011-946: A reset might be triggered in the middle of a commissioning flow, causing the commissioning to fail. This is rarely seen. Workaround is to restart the commissioning flow.
- SDP011-947: A hardfault might get triggered after an OTA upgrade. Recovery can be done by resetting the device. The device will have successfully upgraded the firmware image after the reset.
- SDP012-330: Debugging with secure bootloader is not possible. Workaround is to use a non-secure bootloader for debugging. Instructions can be found here.
- SW-9628: The example driver (peripheral) applications do not support FreeRTOS. As workaround the peripheral applications are given as reference without FreeRTOS support integrated.
- SDP012-333: For the Matter light application, when the light is toggled to OFF using the button on the development board, the level gets set to 1. As a result, upon the next toggle command, the light is ON with level 1 instead of the level it was before the OFF toggle.

-
Added a Matter Base (template) example application. This application can be used as a template for creating any custom Matter device. It makes use of the ZCL advanced platform (ZAP) tool for easy configurability of the application layers.
-
Added support for secure bootloader. A reference implementation and all the needed tools are foreseen in the SDK to allow signing of the application images to enable secure boot. The signing procedure is embedded in the build flow as a post-build step.
-
Added support for Over-The-Air (OTA) upgrade over Matter protocol. The provided Matter applications can now be upgraded by using the Matter download protocol. Also the needed guides and tools are provided in this SDK.
-
Integrated support for Segger Ozone debugger.
-
Upgraded to more recent Matter stack: https://github.com/Qorvo/connectedhomeip/tree/v0.9.9.0
-
Fixed SDP011-945: Implemented a fix in the Bluetooth LE manager statemachine so Bluetooth LE advertising can restart correctly.
-
Fixed SDP012-329: Updated the program rule in Make so it programs the correct hex file after the post-build steps are executed.
-
Fixed SDP012-332: New LED behavior is implemented to indicate if the Matter device is in an advertising state or not. During advertising, fast red led blinks will be seen.
-
Fixed SDP012-361: GPIO, ADC and UART peripheral examples including sleep support are now added in the QMatter deliverable.
-
Fixed SDP012-386: Update in activate.sh script to fetch the latest package information from all configured sources on the system.

- SDP011-943: Defragmentation of the non-volatile memory component does not take into account any old and removed marker entries. Eventually the non-volatile memory area will fill up and an assert will be triggered. Full erase and reprogramming of the flash is needed when this occurs.
- SDP012-330: Debugging with secure bootloader is not possible. Workaround is to use a non-secure bootloader for debugging. Instructions can be found here.
- SW-9628: The example driver (peripheral) applications do not support FreeRTOS. As workaround the peripheral applications are given as reference without FreeRTOS support integrated.

- Binding cluster.
- Unit localisation cluster.
- User label cluster.
