Nabu Casa rewritten and reorganized their upstream Silabs firmware builder

[Hedda]

FYI, it looks like puddly has in the past few weeks rewritten and reorganized much of Nabu Casa’s upstream Silabs firmware builder, and even added Z-Wave Controller too, plus archived their repo for binaries:

https://github.com/NabuCasa/silabs-firmware-builder/commits/main/

Important

New firmwares are released straight from the SiLabs Firmware Builder repository.
This repository contains all past firmwares and will not receive future updates.

https://github.com/NabuCasa/silabs-firmware

So, new official Zigbee and Thread firmware releases for SkyConnect + Yellow and future Silicon Labs firmware will from now be released straight from the SiLabs Firmware Builder repository

As such the "old" silabs-firmware repository is now listed as archived and will not receive more updates but it will remain available as it contains all past firmware versions.

PS: Off-topic however interesting is that the silabs-firmware-builder now also contain Z-Wave Controller firmware for the upcoming official Home Assistant Z-Wave Controller USB adapter hardware that Nabu Casa is working on -> https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2024/05/08/zwave-is-not-dead

Might they need to make major changes now with the release of Gecko Platform Version 5.0.0.0 and the migration to new Simplicity SDK?

• Silicon Labs Gecko SDK 5.0.0.0 and Silabs Simplicity SDK Suite 2024.6.0 been announced and to be released soon #100
