Realtek-first Platform Adoption
Prioritizes Realtek Matter / Thread modules, RCPs, and platforms, then evaluates the right integration approach based on the product role and existing hardware architecture.
Why Choose Ciot?
With Realtek Matter / Thread as the preferred platform, Ciot connects modules, the Matter SDK, DAC device identity, security keys, firmware, and production provisioning to reduce the integration burden of coordinating multiple vendors for brands and ODM/OEM manufacturers.
DAC Device Identity and Security
Plans DAC / PAI, Private Key protection, TrustZone, or Secure Element options to establish a verifiable Matter Device Identity.
Product and Firmware Integration
Integrates Matter with existing product control logic based on Device Type, Cluster, Host Command, and GPIO / UART / I²C / SPI requirements.
Certification and Production Readiness
Connects Factory Data, DAC Provisioning, MES / work orders, and Traceability to move products from development and testing into production readiness.
If another MCU or module is selected, Ciot can integrate Matter, security, and production while retaining the existing hardware. Realtek-first is not Realtek-only.
Complete Matter over Thread Hardware Platform
Based on the Realtek Matter / Thread platform, Ciot supports End Device, Router, RCP, Border Router, and HMI. Beyond standard hardware, Ciot integrates firmware, interfaces, Device Type / Cluster, and DAC Provisioning with the customer’s existing host controller and product functions.
| Module / Platform | Application Role | Core Capabilities | Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTL8771GUV | Thread RCP（USB） | USB Interface, Thread Radio Co-Processor | Gateways, STBs, and existing hosts requiring Thread connectivity |
| RTL8771HTV | Thread RCP（UART） | UART Interface, Thread Radio Co-Processor | Appliance control boards and existing MCU integration |
| RTL8777G | End Device / Router | Matter over Thread, Bluetooth LE, TrustZone security architecture | Lighting, plugs, smart locks, blinds, sensors, and other end devices |
| RTL8772GWP | Border Router / HMI | Display and multitasking, Thread / IP integration | Thermostats, control panels, and smart home hubs |
Standard Modules Simplify Integration
Module / End Device
- Reduce RF and low-level hardware development effort
- Use reference firmware and interface documentation
- Plan DAC / Factory Data for each project
Matter Upgrade for Existing Products
RCP / Bridge
- USB / UART RCP architecture
- Existing MCU / Host communication integration
- Bridge / End Device architecture assessment
Firmware and Security Customization
Firmware / Security
- Device Type / Cluster customization
- Host / I/O interface integration
- TrustZone / Secure Element / Provisioning
Note: Modules can reduce RF design and testing effort, but end-product certification may still be required depending on the module status, product type, and target market.

Matter DAC Device Identity and Production Provisioning
During Commissioning, Matter devices use Device Attestation to verify identity. Ciot helps plan DACs, Private Keys, Factory Data, and production provisioning.
1
PAA | Root of Trust
The Product Attestation Authority is the root of the Matter Device Attestation trust chain. The implementation should be planned around the brand, VID / PID, certification, and production strategy.
2
PAI | Issuing Intermediate
The Product Attestation Intermediate connects the PAA to product DACs. Ciot helps define certificate workflows and data requirements for both testing and production.
3
DAC | Unique to Every Device
Each production device receives a unique DAC and corresponding Private Key, with key protection and secure injection planned according to the MCU, TrustZone, or Secure Element architecture.
PAA→PAI→DAC→Device
Matter devices use Device Attestation during commissioning to verify identity. Ciot helps plan DACs, Private Keys, Factory Data, production provisioning, and the Certification Declaration.
Advanced Security: From Chip to Product Lifecycle
Beyond basic Matter implementation, Ciot integrates TrustZone, Secure Element, Secure Boot, Key Management, and secure communications for IoT Security and regulatory compliance.
1
Tiered Architecture
Evaluate standard MCU, TrustZone MCU, or MCU + Secure Element architectures based on product risk and cost requirements.
2
Core Security Functions
Secure Boot, key protection, device identity verification, secure communications, firmware integrity, anti-tampering, and related controls.
3
Hardware Root of Trust
Integrate Secure Elements such as Infineon and iMQ to strengthen Private Key and device identity protection.

Production and Lifecycle Management
Matter requires more than connectivity. Ciot helps manage device identity, security keys, production data, Provisioning, and Traceability.
OTBR / Gateway Integration
Provides Thread Border Router, RCP, and white-label solutions for new or existing gateways
Automated Production-line Provisioning
Supports binding DAC, Factory Data, serial numbers, and work orders, with integration options evaluated for the MES, programming tools, and production environment to reduce manual handling and key exposure risks.
Certificate and Traceability Management
Manages certificate batches, device mappings, injection records, audit trails, and certificate status throughout the product lifecycle.
Prepare for Matter Certification and IoT Compliance
Using a Security by Design approach, Ciot integrates device identity, key protection, secure updates, and production traceability to support Matter Certification and IoT security requirements.
| Target Market / Standard | Capabilities Supported by Ciot Matter |
|---|---|
| CSA Matter Certification | DAC / PAI / PAA architecture, VID / PID mapping, CD / DCL readiness, and platform and product testing support. |
