STM32F4DISCOVERY vs STM32F407G-DISC1 are same?

dheerajpk · ‎2026-04-12

I bought STM32F4DISCOVERY. But in the STMcube IDE, i see only STM32F407G-DISC1 board.

Are STM32F4DISCOVERY vs STM32F407G-DISC1 same?
Can I select STM32F407G-DISC1 and create a project in the IDE and use STM32F4DISCOVERY hardware to run the project? Will it create any issues?

Hello @dheerajpk and welcome to the community;

The new order code STM32F407G-DISC1 replaces STM32F4DISCOVERY.

The STM32F407G-DISC1 with ST-LINK/V2-A replaces the obsolete STM32F4DISCOVERY order code with ST-LINK/V2.

For more information; I Recommend you to look at Discovery kit with STM32F407VG MCU - User manual section 8.2 STM32F4DISCOVERY product history.

Thank you.

Are they?

Didn't the original one not have the VCP in the ST-Link?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
