reference schematic file for F429I Discovery board

for most of the other boards I have looked at, the downloads section contains a 'schematic' package with the altium designer *.schdoc files for the board. The F429I discovery board schematic download only has the PDF file.

it is preferable to work from the reference design especially in this case for the SDRAM wiring which I'm not quite confident on. are these design files available anywhere?

The F429I-DISCO is the least useful and expandable design possible, poor for CAN, SDIO, ETHERNET, ADC etc

The EVAL boards have better SDRAM wiring/banking for code execution, but not fast or cached.

Some of the newer F4 parts have better options.

Are you talking about the mcu itself or just about that board specifically?

I'm looking for a reference for wiring up an SDRAM to a 'Z' package STM32, though I likely will not use the F429ZI itself for the end design.
