Description
The STM32F4DISCOVERY Discovery kit leverages the capabilities of the
STM32F407 high-performance microcontrollers, to allow users to develop audio
applications easily. It includes an ST-LINK/V2-A embedded debug tool, one ST-
MEMS digital accelerometer, one digital microphone, one audio DAC with integrated
class D speaker driver, LEDs, push-buttons, and a USB OTG Micro-AB connector.
Specialized add-on boards can be connected by means of the extension header
connectors.

Ordering information

1 Ordering information

To order the STM32F4DISCOVERY Discovery kit, refer to Table 1. For a detailed description, refer to its user
manual on the product web page. Additional information is available from the datasheet and reference manual of
the target microcontroller.

Table 1. List of available products

Order code Board reference User manual Target STM32

STM32F407G-DISC1(1) MB997 UM1472 STM32F407VGT6

1. STM32F407G-DISC1 with ST-LINK/V2-A replaces the obsolete STM32F4DISCOVERY order code with ST-LINK/V2.

1.1 Product marking

The sticker located on the top or bottom side of the PCB board shows the information about product identification
such as board reference, revision, and serial number.
The first identification line has the following format: “MBxxxx-Variant-yzz”, where “MBxxxx” is the board reference,
“Variant” (optional) identifies the mounting variant when several exist, "y" is the PCB revision and "zz" is the
assembly revision: for example B01.
The second identification line is the board serial number used for traceability.
Evaluation tools marked as “ES” or “E” are not yet qualified and therefore not ready to be used as reference
design or in production. Any consequences deriving from such usage will not be at ST charge. In no event, ST will
be liable for any customer usage of these engineering sample tools as reference designs or in production.
“E” or “ES” marking examples of location:
• On the targeted STM32 that is soldered on the board (For an illustration of STM32 marking, refer to the
STM32 datasheet “Package information” paragraph at the www.st.com website).
• Next to the evaluation tool ordering part number that is stuck or silk-screen printed on the board.

1.2 Codification
The meaning of the codification is explained in Table 2.
