Seeking Information on 1Set STM32F407VET6 Industrial Control Board

[ChrisSaich]

I bought a 1Set STM32F407VET6 Industrial Control Board from AliExpress to evaluate the STM32 MCU family but I can't find any information about it.

 1Set STM32F407VET6 Industrial Control Board 

I've used many different Arduino, Teensy, ESP32 and other such boards with Arduino and VSC/platform.io IDEs in the past and I'm used to having to dig around for info, but I can not find ANYTHING on this board, although it is for sale on many sites.

I've installed the Arduino STM32 libraries, but I don't know how to download firmware to it or the I/O pins for any of the peripherals.

Can I use a USB to TTL converter and if so, which pins do I connect to?

What positions do the jumpers need to be in to upload firmware? 

What 'Mode' of firmware upload should I use?

Are there any Example programs out there to get me going?

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

Welcome @ChrisSaich, to the community!

Your board is not from STMicroelectronics, but the question is essentially identical to this question, perhaps the answers there will help?

Many questions...

First: why you buy a board, without looking how to use it at all, how to program it?

Bad way to get useful hardware for anything.

So I see three ways to go for you:

A: buy a board to learn something, maybe a nucleo board by STM, and learn how to use the STMCubeIDE, then later can use this board, when you know how to do it.

B: learn and read a lot, how to use the STMCubeIDE, how to make the CPU setup in Cube, read ds and RM on the CPU F407 , to make a program for this board. No click mouse here and there and you have something loaded and running, like an Arduino example for a supported board there.

C: send board back and buy a supported board, with examples available. And look, whether you can get, what you want, in available software, before buying.

String "1Set" is not printed on the board, so it does not look like part of the board name. It just means the set of details pictured (a cable, some screws etc.)  But there's mention of "Seiko". Hope this can help with searching.

I couldn't find anything online for this board either. Not a good sign.
