Is STM32H7B3I-DK Discovery kit with STM32H7B3LI MCU old?

[Rodo]

Hi,

I' was looking at this board thinking it is one of the newer ones. I think of the STM32F7 as the older and STM32H7 as the newer ones.  The reason I'm asking is because I want a STM32H7 kit with an (micro) SD socket and an audio codec. This kit seemed ideal until I checked the audio codec ... Cirrus CS42L51... its datasheet says "discontinued" so I'm thinking this SMT32H7 kit may be old? 

I already have a SMT32F746 disco board and it is ok but I run into some annoying bugs (nicely documented here).

Thanks

Define old.. it still has availability

The Cirrus part is just a convenient CODEC, ST's hardly likely to use parts from the future..

When you build your own board you can select the parts you choose to use.

Hi,

your board is not "old" , but the audio codec is ...not the most recent. :)

see ds:

So codec was new in 2006 , last revision 2020. But thats no problem, my old Sony CD player is 30 y old and still working fine. So the year of design for an audio codec is not a problem, audio hasnt changed the last 35 years.

And the H7B3 cpu ...

4 years ago you could order it first time, do you think , thats "old" ?

IF you want something very "new" , take a H563 board :

From last year, and you get all problems of a new cpu :

my board has a revision Z chip , that has a lot of curious problems, like : 

So can start debug 1000 times - then need a new cpu . Thats really new - right ?
