Minimum hardware requirements for STM32F765

Can anyone tell me or direct me to a source that shows the minimum connections needed to power up and serially program a STM32F765ZGT6? (144 pin package.)

I will be attaching the chip to a breakout board and will be using a St-Link Minie3. 

Any help much appreciated.

Please refer to the AN4661 "Getting started with STM32F7 Series MCU hardware development"  especially the figure 24:

For ST-Link connections, you can inspire from NUCLEO-F767ZI board schematics:

In addition, if by "serially program" you mean over UART, see AN2606 for how to enter the bootloader and the supported pins. The RX/TX pins on pins on the ST-LINK/V3MINIE can be used.

i'm planning on using SWD programming via SWDIO and SWCLK
