Hi,

  I am a beginner to STM32F4 & STM32F7 series. I need to select a board with the STM32F4 & STM32F7 series that suits the following requirements:

1. Inbuilt Ethernet Interface should be available

2. Source code for the maximum peripherals should be available

3. Package should be LQFP

Would be a good starting point to get started on microcontrollers.

For IDE, using ARM mBed would be an easy way to try out programming on these boards.

If looking for a board with more built-in features, Discovery boards would be the right category.

I would suggest F7 once F4 is becoming familiar.

Welcome and have fun!

Hi Seb Marsanne,

   Thanks for your guidance.

I need to design the webpage of my own and to load into this microcontroller. Does it fulfills this option too. Also is it possible to add password enabled login to the webpage.

Appreciate your help regarding this.

I'm not a specialist of embedded web server. However, some companies have done rich embedded solution based on F4 in Thailand:

 they use SDCard on Disco F4 to store an online web editor to create a dashboard to visualize their Matlab blockset variables...

Most of the examples tend to be simpler in nature, serving up precompiled/static pages. It is possible to code ones which are dynamic, or pulled from a block storage device (ie SD Card, or USB Stick). I haven't looked at password examples, but a more general search of the LwIP webserver examples might pull something up. And would be the sort of thing I'd expect to see in commercial TCP/IP stacks
