Matter Edge AI add-on for the nRF Connect SDK

The Matter Edge AI add-on for the nRF Connect SDK combines Matter smart-home protocol support with Edge AI capabilities. It enables development of Matter accessories that use on-device inference.

The add-on builds on the Edge AI add-on (version 2.2.0) and connects it with Matter applications in the nRF Connect SDK. In combination with the nRF Connect SDK, the Matter Edge AI add-on allows for development of Matter Edge AI applications.
