STM32F072B-DISCO and MEMS module (I3G4250D vs L3GD20)

Hi ST,

Newbie question with regards to finding the right documentation.

I went through previous threads trying to find an answer to this but I have not come across anything.

I have an older iteration of the STM32F072B-DISCO board (as I've discovered!). I was able to use the STM32CubeF0 Samples/Demonstration/Example files that still expects L3GD20 and it worked out fine, however I realized the discrepancy in documentation because the WHO_AM_I identifier of the MEMS module was different on the board vs. the documentation of the datasheet. All of the new materials points to it using I3G4250D MEMS module, but I saw no mention of the module being changed in the Release/Change Notes anywhere.

I was only able to find the schematic diagram of the board that has the L3GD20 module on it, and no other documentation:

I3G4250D - https://www.st.com/resource/en/schematic_pack/mb1076-f072b-d02_schematic.pdf

L3GD20 - https://www.st.com/resource/en/schematic_pack/mb1076-f072b-c01_schematic.pdf

Would you be able to guide me as to how I can find the rest of the documentation for the iteration of the board I have? Not sure what else has changed and I'd rather not do something to destroy the board in the process.

Thank you!
