Hi,
I bought a XIAO nRF54L15 board to use it for Matter samples (Matter light)
I am facing an issue building the firmware using nRF SDK 3.0.2.
Could you provide me a tutorial for building Matter samples for XIAO nRF54L15 board?
It will help a lot of people too.

Hi there,
SO I haven’t tried it yet this way, but usually you would select the Nordic SOC in the pull down, not Custom unless you have a different Board files?
You can run the Kmenu config to set the prj.conf options you want ,i.e. bootloader , Flash, DFU tech etc…
Check out the FREE Nordic Tech WEB Seminars/Videos on building the conf. worth the Look and Time!

Hi PJ, Have you got a good idea or solution for isolating the nordic dev tools? I’m considering putting it in a vm to stop it interfering with the cmake tools for the pi pico dev environment.
Hi there,
So , from the beginning I have the Nordic stuff and Seeed Stuff ALL on a D:\ SSD drive on the Development machine. I have not experienced any issues , PLiO & Arduino IDE 2.3.5, NRF_SDK, ESP_IDF(I don’t use it unless req). along with the requites, python, VSB, etc.

Have you tried using Docker for this?
I find it works quite well for my “isolated” developments.
I’ve got a few gripes with docker, and my dev laptop is stuffed to its eyeballs already. I did recently have some success with the tpu-mlir docker, but it’s annoying to work with. Thanks for the suggestion though.
I’m pretty sure it was an issue with gpt5 preview deciding that it wanted to do a clean build of something and also deciding that meant deleting the contents of my tool kits folder.
i installed docker for an obscure program and it kinda worked… i hate linux installs because it is so complicated and they just say the commands like you have any idea what they are talking about
I feel like we’re getting off topic.
I have add 4 files in my project:
So now I have an issue with TEMP_NRF5_MPSL.
Do you know why?

Looks like there are k config errors.
Did you follow the instructions on the seed wiki for adding the seed boards folder from git to NRF connect?
It needs to point to the seed-boards/zephyr folder, wherever you put it.
Check your prj.conf is setting the right things.
Yes I added the path of the downloaded XIAO nRF54L15 board file to the boardRoots array. It worked well for the zephyr blinky exemple.
I was able to build and flash it.
Now I am trying to make the Matter light bulb sample working:
I’ll see if I can get it to build.
The sample you want to use does not support the xiao nrf54l15 board yet.
Yes, I noticed that.
The list of compatible cards only includes Nordic DK cards.
It works with my Nordic nRF5340-DK.
I don’t think there will ever be a card from a supported manufacturer for the Matter sample.
Shouldn’t the configuration files for XIAO be added to make compilation possible?
Regards
Yup, but it’s taking me a bit to figure out what exactly needs to be changed to enable the onboard SOC temperature sensor in the Xiao version. I’m just a community member not seeed staff 
Also, I’m a few days from submitting some PRs to the nrf-sdk, to enable more stuff for the Xiao version. I’m testing a new ws2812 driver I wrote for the high performance core for it.
There’s likely no reason I can’t add the seed boards into the main board tree and add it to the supported list in kconfig for the matter samples.
