 ## Matter Hub Raspberry Pi Image
 
 The Matter Hub image is intended to be flashed onto an SD card for a Raspberry Pi. The Matter Hub image provides both an Open Thread Border Router and the Matter chip-tool. Note the image is ~7GB in size so depending on your internet connection this download may take some time. Start the Matter Hub Raspberry Pi image download here:
