Matter - Development Hardware

At Nordic Semiconductor, we are committed to driving innovation in low-power wireless solutions, and Matter represents an exciting leap forward for smart home connectivity. Matter is an open-source, royalty-free standard developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), designed to enable seamless interoperability between IoT devices from different manufacturers.

As a leader in Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE), Thread, and Wi-Fi, Nordic provides Matter-ready solutions that help developers create secure, low-power, and future-proof smart home products. Our nRF52840 and nRF5340 SoCs, combined with our nRF Connect SDK, offer a robust platform for building Matter-compliant devices using Thread and Bluetooth LE. Additionally, our nRF7002 Wi-Fi companion IC extends Matter support to Wi-Fi-based applications.

With Nordic’s energy-efficient hardware and developer-friendly software tools, bringing Matter-certified products to market has never been easier. Whether you're building smart lighting, door locks, sensors, or other home automation devices, Nordic's proven, scalable, and secure wireless solutions ensure a smooth path to Matter certification.

Where to get started?

Development hardware

To get started developing your matter product right, you can use our nRF52840 DK, nRF5340 DK or nRF7002 DK. When using these kits, all the SoCs functions can be used and tested. All analog and digital interfaces, and GPIOs are available via headers and edge connectors. An onboard SEGGER J-Link enables programming, debugging, and even RTOS awareness during debugging. All three kits are Arduino Uno Rev3 hardware compatible, so they can interface with device shields. Our Power Profiler Kit II (PPK2) is a standalone Kit used to supply and measure currents from sub µA up to 1A. The dedicated current measurement pins on our DKs can be used to connect DKs to a PPK2. The PPK2 can even use digital inputs and work as a low-end logic analyzer, enabling code-synchronized measurements.
