Does this kit require a BDM to program the 

STM32F429ZIT6.  Or does it work through the USB?

I am new to ST products and what kind of tools do I need to use to program the device.

Hi morley.daniel,

Welcome to STM32 community :)

I'd highly recommend you to have a look to these two documents, they provide guidelines to novice users on how to build and run a sample application and to create and build their own application around the STM32F429 Discovery.

Also I recommend you to download the

http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM147/CL1794/SC961/SS1533/PF259242?s_searchtype=partnumber

which is a graphical software configuration tool that allows generating C initialization code using graphical wizards.

The DISCO board includes an SWD (single wire debug, like jtag, fewer pins) debugger, ST-LINK, provided by the F103 part on the board. This connects via the primary USB (mini), the target USB (micro).

The DISC1 model support mbed, and a virtual serial port.

The ST-LINK debugger is supported by Keil, IAR, etc.
