Description
With the STM32F469 Discovery kit (32F469IDISCOVERY), users develop
applications easily on the STM32F469 high-performance MCUs with Arm® Cortex®-
M4 core and Chrom-ART Accelerator. The Discovery kit enables a wide range of use
cases taking advantage of premium graphics, audio, multisensor support, WVGA
color display, security, memory extension and connectivity features.
An embedded ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger/programmer is included. Specialized add-on
boards can be connected by means of the ARDUINO® Uno or expansion connectors.

Ordering information

1 Ordering information

To order the 32F469IDISCOVERY 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.

1.1 Product marking

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.
This board features a specific STM32 device version, which allows the operation of any bundled commercial
stack/library available. This STM32 device shows a "U" marking option at the end of the standard part number
and is not available for sales.
In order to use the same commercial stack in his application, a developer may need to purchase a part number
specific to this stack/library. The price of those part numbers includes the stack/library royalties.

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