STM32F429I-EVAL Board FW

[Mary West]

Hi -

I have a STM32429I-EVAL board. Before I start mucking about with it, I would like the original firmware file (bin or hex file). I may want to go back to the original demo fw at some point. Here is the system info:

Demo Rev: 1.4.5

Board: STM324x9I

Core: STM32F429

Thanks-

You can use STM32CubeProgrammer to download the flash before you upload your own code. If you haven't already flashed something.

Download 0x200000 (2MB) bytes starting at address 0x08000000.

Hi -

The STM32CubeProgrammer can't save 2 MB. It can only save 1 MB files. The ST-Link Utility can save 2MB files but can only open 1 MB files. I could save the flash contents in 1 MB chunks. But what I'm really interested in is the original FW that was loaded on this EVAL board.

The STM32f429i EVAL documentation says the following:

"Demonstration software

Demonstration software is preloaded in the Flash memory of the board for easy demonstration of the device peripherals in stand-alone mode. For more information and to download the latest version, refer to the STM32429I-EVAL demonstration software on www.st.com.";

I was unable to find any version on the website.

The kit shipped with a USB drive. I was hoping the FW would be on that, but it wasn't.

Please help me finding this FW.

Thanks-

Don't think the FW takes up all 2MB, extract as binaries, splice back together

The board is a bit antiquated as this point
