Home Assistant Addon for flashing Zigbee module

[ElVit]

Hi,
is it possible to flash the Zigbee module with an Home Assistant Addon?
For example:

• https://github.com/tube0013/tubeszb_addons/blob/main/tzb-silabs-flasher
• https://github.com/mercenaruss/zigstar_addons/tree/main/zigstar-silabs-flasher

As far as I can see a *.GBL file is needed to flash through the addon.
But your manual says to use an *.OTA file. Are they similar?

Would be nice if I could upgrade the Zigbee firmware through Home Assistant 😃.
Or is there a similar way which makes it easier to flash that means without command line?

Here are the key differences between the file formats for the Gecko Bootloader of the EFR32MG21:
GBL (Gecko Bootloader) files:

This is Silicon Labs' proprietary file format specifically for Over-The-Air (OTA) updates

• Contains additional metadata and security information like signatures
• Can include multiple components such as application, bootloader, and other assets
• Mainly used for the update process

OTA (Over The Air) files:

• This is the standardized Zigbee OTA file format
• Based on Zigbee specifications for over-the-air updates
• Contains headers with version and device IDs along with the actual firmware payload
• Used for the actual transmission over the Zigbee network

In practice, the GBL file is often converted to an OTA file for distribution over the Zigbee network. The Gecko Bootloader > can then process the received OTA file and perform the update.

I just asked an AI for an answer to speed things up. I'm not aware of any HA Addon which supports the update process of the Zigbee module out of the box. I will have a brief look into the referenced Addons to get an idea if they can be used or not.
