This is an attempt to snap out matter chip-tool application, which is a reference implementation of matter controller node application.

• Install ubuntu 22.04 lxc container in your host dev environment.
• Install snapcraft 7.x in the container.
• Ensure that you will have build-essentials installed in this container.
• Clone this repo.
• To build the snap use following command at bash prompt inside your container snapcraft --destructive-mode

• At this moment this will build for x86_64 arch only. For arm64, work is in progress.

• You should have at least 35GB of disk space available.

• Since matter source code is very big, downloading whole source can take considerable amount of time, which affects snap build time.

• To test this snap

  • Install the snap
    • snap install chip-tool_0.1_amd64.snap --dangerous
    • snap connect chip-tool:bluez
  • May be you can try simple pairing operation over ethernet by using following command line once the snap is installed,
    • chip-tool pairing ethernet 1 20202021 3840 <ip of device node> 5543

  The above command will start matter controller node for server device node you can build and run linux placeholder device app from matter repo.

• Finally check out the matter repo for more details. Starting point can be following
