Steps

  1. Build or run a reference OTA Provider app that serves a Matter OTA image over the OTA Software Update Provider cluster.
  2. Prepare the software image with the standardized Matter OTA header containing vendor ID, product ID, and software version.
  3. Announce the OTA Provider to the OTA Requestor device, or have the requestor query for available updates via QueryImage.
  4. Let the OTA Requestor download the image from the Provider using Matter's Bulk Data Exchange (BDX) protocol, which is modeled on TFTP.
  5. Confirm the requestor validates the header (vendor ID, product ID, version) before applying the update and reports the new software version afterward.
