STM32F429ZI Nucleo demonstration - is this it?

I am developing a project using STM32F429ZI, I have bought a Nucleo board, read the quick start guide, plugged it into USB power & ethernet... so now what?

The quick-start guide literally says "Press button B1 (left button). Observe the blinking frequency of the three LEDs LD1 to LD3 changes, by clicking on the button B1."

Is that it for demonstration? :|

Do we not get a web page or something from the board to show it working?

Given that I selected this specifically because we are developing an Ethernet-connected device I was hoping for a little bit more from ST to get the basics up & running and show a bare-bones IP project.

Or perhaps it's a failure of documentation because I can't see anything in any of the guides or manuals that says anything more than "look at the blinky lights". :\

There are many examples in CubeMX repository including some with ethernet functionality. This is a subset. The program that comes with the board doesn't use the ethernet connector.

...for documentation on how the board runs out of the box?

I am not asking about programming the board myself, I'm saying that whatever it runs "out of the box" is (apparrently) completely undocumented.

I've never seen that list - where is that hiding in the CubeMX IDE?

Aha, whenever I click that my CubeMX just sits and spins the blue circle forever... guess I need to check for updates and hope it's fixed.

If the GUI is too slow or not convenient, you can browse all these examples on github or in your local installed Cube package

The CubeF4 repository also has many projects and examples

Repository\STM32Cube_FW_F4_V1.24.2\Projects\STM32F429ZI-Nucleo\Examples\ADC .. WWDG

Repository\STM32Cube_FW_F4_V1.24.2\Projects\STM32F429ZI-Nucleo\Applications\LwIP\LwIP_HTTP_Server_Netconn_RTOS

\Repository\STM32Cube_FW_F4_V1.24.2\Projects\STM32F429ZI-Nucleo\Applications\USB_Host\MSC_Standalone

and others which could be ported from EVAL and DISCO examples
