STM32429I-EVAL evaluation board for the STM32F429 line
Introduction
The STM32429I-EVAL evaluation board is a complete demonstration and development
platform for STMicroelectronics ARM®Cortex™-M4 core-based STM32F429NIH6
microcontrollers. It features three I2C, six SPIs with two muxed full-duplex I2S, SDIO, four
USART, four UART, two CAN, three 12-bit ADC, two 12-bit DAC, one SAI, 8- to 14-bit digital
camera module interface, internal 256+4 KB SRAM and 2 MB Flash, USB HS OTG and
USB FS OTG, Ethernet MAC, FMC interface, JTAG debugging support. This evaluation
board can be used as a reference design for user application development but it is not
considered as a final application.
The full range of hardware features on the board helps you evaluate all peripherals (USB
OTG HS, USB OTG FS, Ethernet, Motor Control, CAN, MicroSD Card, USART, Audio DAC
and ADC, digital microphone, IrDA, CAN, RF EEPROM, SRAM, Nor Flash, SDRAM,
4.3" TFT LCD with a resistive touch panel etc.) and develop your own applications.
Extension headers make it possible to easily connect a daughterboard for your specific
application.
The integrated ST-LINK/V2 provides an embedded in-circuit debugger and programmer for
the STM32 MCU.

2.1 Development and debug support
Version 2 of the ST-LINK (ST-LINK/V2) is embedded on the board. This tool allows on-board
program loading and debugging of the STM32 using a JTAG or SWD interface. Third-party
debug tools are also supported by the JTAG/SWD connector, CN16, and ETM Trace
connector, CN13.
A specific driver must be installed on your PC to communicate with the embedded
ST-LINK/V2. An install shield called ST-LINK_V2_USBdriver.exe is available on the web. To
download and install this driver, refer to the Software and development tools page for
STM32 on www.st.com.
Third-party toolchains, ARM®Atollic®TrueSTUDIO®, KEILTM MDK-ARMTM, IAR
EWARM®and Altium®, TASKING™ VX-Toolset support ST-LINK/V2 according to the
following table:
The embedded ST-LINK/V2 is connected to the PC via a standard USB cable connected to
connector CN21. The bicolor LED LD11 (COM) indicates the status of the communication as
follows:
•Red LED slow blinking/Off: At power on before USB initialization
•Red LED fast blinking/Off: After the first correct communication between PC and ST-
Link/V2 (enumeration)
•Red LED On: When initialization between PC and ST-LINK/V2 is successfully finished
•Green LED On: After successful target communication initialization
•Red/Green LED blinking: During communication with target
•Red LED On: Communication finished and OK
•Orange LED On: Communication failure
Note: The board can be powered via CN21 (embedded ST/LINK/V2 USB connector) even if an
external tool is connected to CN13 (ETM trace connector) or CN16 (external JTAG & SWD
connector).
By default ETM only works at 50 MHz clock because ETM signals are shared with other
peripherals.
If best performance of ETM is required (90 MHz), then R29, R32, R34, R36, R40, R114 and
R120 must be removed to reduce the stub on ETM signals. In this case SAI and camera are
not functional and NOR Flash and SRAM's addresses are limited on A18.
Caution: When an external high speed debug tool connected to CN13 or CN16 is used for program
loading or debugging, it is recommended to remove ESD protections D9 to D13 connected
on JTAG signals.

2.15 Memories
8 M x 32-bit SDRAM is connected to SDRAM Bank1 of the STM32F429NIH6 FMC
interface.
1 Mbit x 16 SRAM is connected to bank1 NOR/PSRAM2 of the FMC interface and both 8-bit
and 16-bit access is allowed by BLN0 & BLN1 connected to BLE & BHE of SRAM
respectively.
128 Mbit NOR Flash is connected to bank1 NOR/PSRAM1 of the FMC interface. The 16-bit
operation mode is selected by the pull-up resistor connected to BYTE pin of NOR Flash.
Write protection is enabled or disabled by the setting of jumper JP9:
All memory signals are also connected on memory connectors CN11 and CN12 for memory
daughterboards.
Some limitations occur when using other peripherals:
1. FMC addressing limitation depending on number of trace data buses used
(A18 max for 4-bit ETM to A21 max for 1-bit ETM).
2. NOR Flash addresses limited to A21 when SAI or camera module is used.
In such cases, memory addresses A18 to A21 not connected to FMC are pulled down so
memories can be addressed within a limited address range. If A22 is required, the camera
board should be removed and SAI1_SDA should be tri-stated. AIF1_TRI (address: 0x300)
bit 13 of the W8994 can be used to tri-state ADCDAT1 pin (SAI1_SDA) when it is set to 1.
2.16 Analog input
The two-pin header CN4, and 10 Kohm potentiometer RV1, are connected to PF10 of the
STM32F429NIH6 as analog input. A low pass filter can be implemented by replacing R27
and C24 with the resistor and capacitor requested by end user's application.
2.17 Camera module
Connector CN5 (for DCMI signals) on the STM32429I-EVAL evaluation board connects to
the camera module daughterboard MB1066.
DCMI signals are duplicated with other peripherals (SAI, I2S, NOR Flash, MicroSD Card,
Trace, Ethernet).
These peripherals may not function correctly when the camera module is being used.
To avoid SAI1_SDA signal impacting D7, SAI1_SDA should be tri-stated.
Refer to Section 2.15 to see how to tri-state SAI1_SDA.

not fitted.

2.18 Display and input devices
A 4.3 inch 480x272 TFT color LCD with resistive touch panel can be connected to the RGB
LCD interface of STM32F429NIH6.
4 general purpose color LED's (LD 1,2,3,4) are available as display devices.
The 4-direction joystick (B4), Wakeup (B2) and Tamper/key button (B3) are available as
input devices.
Note: On 4.3-inch daughterboard, BL_CTRL (PA8) can be used to manage on/off of backlight if
needed.
Because BL_CTRL is shared with MII_MCO which is in default setting, R279 must be
removed and R283 must be soldered with a 0 ohm resistor.
The 4.3 inch LCD daughterboard’s orientation can be changed by hinged standoffs and
pillars. There are two possible orientations according to holes on the motherboard and LCD
daughterboard. Refer to Figure 4 for details.
