It's been 7 days since I posted the issue, it is blocker one. Please help me to resolve this

So it seems the ports and pins are hardwired in _led_widgetrgb.cpp and don't reference the actual board layout - even though the BRD2601B is specifically referenced (as RGB) in the build.gn file - see RGB_LED_ENABLED.

The appropriate include file (eg brd2610b/sl_simple_rgb_pwm_led_rgb_led0_config.h) should be included in the build.gn based on the silabs_board (ie - if RGB exists) and pins correctly mapped.

No need to hope Silicon Labs will help there. They are irresponsive.

Just follow https://developers.home.google.com/matter/vendors/silicon-labs

And I just tested BRD4161A, BRD2703A and your BRD2601B, all built well. No error is found.

I do not have any board right now. Just build all these. So I am considering to get some boards to test later.

You can now build Matter projects in Simplicity Studio.

@grobasoz Did I miss something? I installed and found only 1 Matter example.

[grobasoz]

I think there are 6 examples, standard lights, switches, locks etc... What did you install?

[eos1d3]

It is SimplicityStudio-5 Mac version. After installation, I search "matter" in example and cannot find others.

It did install a lot of libraries. Any additional tools to install?

[grobasoz]

I haven't tried on the Mac, I'll do so when I get to work this morning... 6:49 am here at the moment...

[grobasoz]

Matter samples are on Mac as well... eg for BRD4166A (Thunderboard Sense 2)

[eos1d3]

Great thanks!! I will try again.

I tried SimplicityStudio-5 on macOS Monterey earlier without installation issue. I am current installing it on Ventura, it always quit after "Welcome to Simplicity Studio" screen. I tried many times and got the same problem. Is this a known issue?

I can switch back to Monterey and test later.

[grobasoz]

I'm using Monterey - on the Silabs forum others have had issue with Ventura though...

[eos1d3]

Just checked the forum, I am getting the same problem. I have to down grade to Monterey to test. Thanks!

[eos1d3]

Actually there are a lot more Matter examples for different boards. Using BRD2703A I found 11 examples.

Thanks for that info! I never really checked boards I don't have here...

Actually I have had to move back to the GitHub release (1.0.2) as the Simplicity versions don't fully work for some reason? See here...

Managed to get a lighting-app built and connected to an Apple HomePod Mini via Eve/Home.

How's that for "confusing" an already complicated development!?!
