# Matter BEE4 Lighting Example Application
This reference application implements an On/Off Light device type. You can use
this example as a reference for creating your own application.
The example is based on:
- [Matter](https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip)
- [BEE4 github SDK](https://github.com/rtkconnectivity/rtl87x2g_sdk)
- [OT-REALTEK](https://github.com/rtkconnectivity/ot-realtek)
## Supported devices
- [RTL8777G]
## Introduction
The application showcases a light bulb device that communicates with clients
over a low-power, 802.15.4 Thread network.
It can be commissioned into an existing Matter network using a controller such
as `chip-tool`.
This example implements a `Standard commissioning flow`, meaning devices not
connected to the network automatically broadcast advertising when powered on.
The initial commissioning is done through `ble-thread` pairing method.
The Thread network dataset will be transferred on the device using a secure
session over Bluetooth LE.To pair successfully, the commissioner must know the
commissioning information corresponding to the device: setup passcode and
discriminator. This data is usually encoded within a QR code or printed to the
UART console.
## Prerequisites for building
In order to build the example, it is recommended to use a Linux distribution.
Please visit the supported Operating Systems list in
[BUILDING.md](../../../../docs/guides/BUILDING.md#prerequisites).
- Make sure that below prerequisites are correctly installed (as described in
[BUILDING.md](../../../../docs/guides/BUILDING.md#prerequisites))
```
sudo apt-get install git gcc g++ pkg-config libssl-dev libdbus-1-dev libglib2.0-dev libavahi-client-dev ninja-build python3-venv python3-dev python3-pip unzip libgirepository1.0-dev libcairo2-dev libreadline-dev
```
- Step 1: checkout Realtek specific submodules only
```bash
$ scripts/checkout_submodules.py --shallow --platform realtek --recursive
```
- Step 1: Init REALTEK SDK
```bash
$ git submodule update --init --recursive third_party/openthread/ot-realtek
```
- Step 3: activate local environment
```bash
$ source ./scripts/activate.sh
```
If the script says the environment is out of date, you can update it by
running the following command:
```bash
$ source ./scripts/bootstrap.sh
```
## Building
- To build the demo application:
```bash
$ ./scripts/build/build_examples.py --target realtek-rtl8777g-window build
```
You can find the target built file called **matter-cli-mtd** under the
`out/realtek-rtl8777g-window/bin` directory.
