The code shipped in the FW library either says it's not implemented, or is in fact the code for the STM324x9I-EVAL with or without the name changed. The code was for Bank1 SDRAM at 0xC0000000, it will not work with the different part at Bank2 0xD0000000 on the STM32F429I-DISCO board!! 

#ifdef DATA_IN_ExtSDRAM
/**
* @brief Setup the external memory controller.
* Called in startup_stm32f429_439xx.s before jump to main.
* This function configures the external SDRAM mounted on STM32F429I-DISCO board
* This SDRAM will be used as program data memory (including heap and stack).
* @param None
* @retval None
*/
void SystemInit_ExtMemCtl(void)
{
/* This function will be implemented in next versions */
}
#endif /* DATA_IN_ExtSDRAM */

This annoyed me, so I fixed it. This now allows SystemInit() to bring up the SDRAM, and for it to be used by the C Run-time library code. If this helps you, please send your appreciation.

    This is AWESOME Clive. I will use this in my startup scripts for my ST32F4 design.

    I wondered why the included method didn't work for me and assumed I had done something wrong.

    Here is my quick and dirty method… (called from main). OK, so not optimised to run at 180MHz (I presume it’s designed to run at 168MHz). Also some interesting differences i.e. why the extra bits in GPIOB->MODER when only PB5&6 used (on the 429 Discovery board)?

    The GPIOB stuff related to post Reset defaults for register, and modified STM324x9I-EVAL code to work on second bank. Had tested memory against this, but will revisit.
