Bouffalo Lab

This example functions as a light bulb device type, with on/off and level capabilities and uses a test Vendor ID (VID) and a Product ID (PID) of 0x8005.

The steps were verified on Bouffalo Lab BL602 and BL706 development board.

  • BL602-IoT-Matter-V1, here to purchase.
  • BL602-NIGHT-LIGHT
  • XT-ZB6-DevKit
  • BL706-NIGHT-LIGHT

Warning: Changing the PID may cause compilation problems, we recommend leaving it as the default while using this example.

BL602

BL602/BL604 is combo chip-set for Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and BLE 5.0 base-band/MAC.

BL602-IoT-Matter-V1

BL706

BL702/BL706 is combo chip-set for BLE and IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee/Thread. In some cases, e.g. in SDK, we use BL702 as a general name for BL702/BL706 family.

Build CHIP Lighting App example

The following steps take examples for BL602 develop board BL602-IoT-Matter-V1 and BL706 develop board XT-ZB6-DevKit.

  • Build lighting app

    ./scripts/build/build_examples.py --target bouffalolab-bl602-iot-matter-v1-light build
    ./scripts/build/build_examples.py --target bouffalolab-xt-zb6-devkit-light build
    
  • UART baudrate is 2000000 by default; for baudrate 115200, please build target name with -115200 appended

    ./scripts/build/build_examples.py --target bouffalolab-bl602-iot-matter-v1-light-115200 build
    ./scripts/build/build_examples.py --target bouffalolab-xt-zb6-devkit-light-115200 build
    
  • Build target name with -rpc appended for rpc enabled as following commands.

    ./scripts/build/build_examples.py --target bouffalolab-bl602-iot-matter-v1-light-rpc build
    ./scripts/build/build_examples.py --target bouffalolab-xt-zb6-devkit-light-rpc build
    
  • For multiple build options ,such as UART baudrate 115200 + rpc, please try

    ./scripts/build/build_examples.py --target bouffalolab-bl602-iot-matter-v1-light-rpc-115200 build
    ./scripts/build/build_examples.py --target bouffalolab-xt-zb6-devkit-light-rpc-115200 build
    

Download image

  • Using script *.flash.py.

    After building gets done, python script chip-bl602-lighting-example.flash.py or chip-bl702-lighting-example.flash.py will generate under build output folder for BL602 or BL702 building.

    Note, different build options will generate different output folder.

    Note, make sure terminal is under Matter build environment.

    Download operation steps as below, please check help option of script for more detail.

    • Connect the board to your build machine

    • Put the board to the download mode:

      • Press and hold the BOOT button.
      • Click the RESET or EN button.
      • Release the BOOT button.
    • Type following command for image download. Please set serial port accordingly, here we use /dev/ttyACM0 as a serial port example.

      • bl602-iot-matter-v1 without additional build options

        ./out/bouffalolab-bl602-iot-matter-v1-light/chip-bl602-lighting-example.flash.py --port /dev/ttyACM0
        
      • xt-zb6-devkit with 115200 baudrate setting
