Adding RAM to STM32F4

Hi,

For my project I need additional RAM, is it possible to add memory to the STM32F407VG (in the STM32F4-Discovery Board) using the FSMC interface?

Review schematics and pin allocations for boards using external memory, like STM3240G-EVAL or RedDragon407

Look also for daughter boards which you can plug the STM32F4-Discovery into.

Personally I'd be looking for a different board, with a higher pin count STM32 part to better accommodate the DCMI and FSMC interfaces. Check eBay, etc.

Thanks for your answer CLIVE1.

In the STM32F4-Eval board we have only 8 address outputs (A16 to A23). 

What can be the maximum memory they could controle? Can it reach 16MB?

About 256 or 512 bytes depending on if your data bus is 8 or 16-bit wide?

I haven't looked at the STM32F4-Discovery being a practical platform for external memory, depending on the memory you'd have to wire up ~30 pins. The camera would be another ~20 pins
