Compatibility of different footprints of same MCU type

[Exit0815]

Hello,

I want to change the MCU STM32F779AIY to STM32F779NIH6

I already checked the pinout in CubeMX and i can use the same config for the peripherals at the same naming of pins (PB1, PA4 and so on).

Do i need to change anything at the software if i change the MCU?

As i can see so far, the software does not detect the type of the MCU, as long as GPIO stuff is the same (which is) it will work. Am i right here?

Thank you.

Correct, for this swap you won't have to change the code at all. They are effectively the same exact chip in a different package.
