 ### Device Firmware Upgrade
 
-The example allows enabling the over-the-air Device Firmware Upgrade feature. In
-this process, the device hosting new firmware image sends the image to the
-Matter device using Bluetooth LE transport and
-[Simple Management Protocol](https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/zephyr/guides/device_mgmt/index.html#device-mgmt).
-The
-[MCUboot](https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/mcuboot/index.html)
-bootloader solution then replaces the old firmware image with the new one.
+The example supports over-the-air (OTA) device firmware upgrade (DFU) using one of the two available methods:
+- Matter OTA update that is mandatory for Matter-compliant devices and enabled by default
+- [Simple Management Protocol](https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/zephyr/guides/device_mgmt/index.html#device-mgmt) over Bluetooth LE, an optional proprietary method that can be enabled to work alongside the default Matter OTA update. Note that this protocol is not a part of the Matter specification.
 
-#### Bootloader
+For both methods, the [MCUboot](https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/mcuboot/index.html) bootloader solution is used to replace the old firmware image with the new one.
 
-MCUboot is a secure bootloader used for swapping firmware images of different
-versions and generating proper build output files that can be used in the device
-firmware upgrade process.
+#### Matter Over-the-Air Update
 
-The bootloader solution requires an area of flash memory to swap application
-images during the firmware upgrade. The Nordic devices use an external memory
-chip for this purpose. The memory chip communicates with the microcontroller
-through the QSPI bus.
+The Matter over-the-air update distinguishes two types of nodes: OTA Provider and OTA Requestor.
 
-See the
-[Building with Device Firmware Upgrade support](#building-with-device-firmware-upgrade-support)
-section to learn how to change MCUboot and flash configuration in this example.
+An OTA Provider is a node that hosts a new firmware image and is able to respond on an OTA Requestor's
+queries regarding availability of new firmware images or requests to start sending the update packages.
+
+An OTA Requestor is a node that wants to download a new firmware image and sends requests to an OTA Provider to start the update process.
