STM32F429I-DISC1 - 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 2Mb Flash Discovery Kit

STM32F429I- DISC1 board is a high performance board with the support of 2.4" QVGA TFT LCD for development of advance GUI (Graphical User Interface). STM32F429I- DISC1 board core is run by high performance ARM Cortex M4, with enough memory of 1Mb for flash programming and 256 Kb for RAM. Beside including primary hardware features for testing the board, it also have L3GD20, ST-MEMS motion sensor 3-axis digital output gyroscope.

The STM32F429I- DISC1 board boards integrate an ST-Link debugger/programmer with a separate selection-mode switch which enables the board to be used as a standalone ST-LINK/V2-1. The board has three functionality USB support: Virtual COM port, mass storage, debug port. A separate USB-OTG is also provided for further debugging of the board.

STM32 Discovery boards can be used with wide range of development environments including IAR EWARM, Keil MDK-ARM, mbed and GCC/LLVM-based IDEs .
