background introduction
On December 2, 2022, the Matter China Developer Conference will be held in Shenzhen. About 300 developers attended the meeting, and I was one of 300 of them. The conference started at 9:30 in the morning, and about 20 speeches were arranged. The whole rhythm is very tight, lasting more than 9 hours, including chip manufacturers, smart home platform providers, solution providers, brand owners, and testing and certification agencies in the Matter ecosystem. The amount of information is very large, and it is also very brain-burning.
The following is some speech information I compiled on the chip side, mainly including their Matter solutions and related development resources. I also put the relevant developer websites that can be consulted as hyperlinks in the introduction of each chip and platform, and you can click to view them directly.
Among the chip members of the Matter protocol, there are mainly NXP, Sillicom Lab, Nodic, and Qorvo, and there are Telink, Espressif Esp32, and Broadcom Benke in China. In addition to Lexin, several other companies have shared.
I hope that through the information I have organized as follows, I can provide some reference for the selection of your Matter solution.
Follow me, and more information about Matter and smart home will be updated later.
Nodic-Matter

related routines
VS code plugin for nRF Connec Sdk
Other development materials
multi-fabric solution (whoever uses the commissoning belongs to the fabric)
Silicon Labs-Matter
Xinke has quite complete support for matter, and it is recommended.

Simplicity Studio 5 is an IDE tool integrated with Matter
Main chip reference comparison
MG21：Zigbee + Thread
MG24：Zigbee + Thread + ble
Thread selection, pay attention to MG21 and MG24
WIFI selection
Supplement: The Matter development of all chip platforms is roughly divided into these three methods
1. In CSA's Matter github repository, configure the environment in the corresponding example routine, and compile the files for the corresponding platform.
For example: in the matter warehouse of CSA , the routines in connectedhomeip/examples/lighting-app/efr32 are the lights corresponding to the silicon efr32 platform.
2. Compile in the git Matter warehouse of the chip platform:
For example: in Silicon's Matter repository, examples/lighting-app/efr32 is adapted.
3. IDE tools for development, including the configuration and download of sdk, toolchain, and Matter warehouse.
For example: si5

Replenish:
Silicon has already compiled the firmware of raspberry pi4 and the firmware corresponding to the rcp platform. If you just demo, you can refer to this page to download.
At the developer conference, they also provided some development kits for development.

ESP32-Matter
Espressif Chip has very complete documentation and development boards. I also recommend using his company for demo development. For specific solutions and information, refer to the official website linked to the title.
