STM42F4 Pin 1 Identifier

Just received some STM32F405RGT6 (64 pin LQFP) processors with two round circles on opposite corners of the package, one smaller with a concave bottom, the other larger with a flat bottom. The package description in the datasheet of course shows only one mark. Can anyone tell me which is the real Pin 1 identifier ? I suspect it is the smaller circle, but I don't want to risk letting all the smoke out of the chip finding out.

The F405 144 pin LQFP processors also just received correctly have only one pin marker.

Thanks, Hal

Thanks, Clive1. Hal

Link above is bad.
Solved: Ambiguity in pin-1 position on stm32f756vgt6 - STMicroelectronics Community
Seems Pin 1 is lower left when the ST text is properly oriented for reading

Yes, every time they migrate the forum content gets lost or destroyed. I'll flag this.

@Amelie ACKERMANN can you get this checked/fixed. Thread would likely have been one showing multiple pin count packages with molding and orientation markings identified.

Hello @Tesla DeLorean,

is this the correct thread? STM32F401 64pin pin1 marking / orientation - STMicroelectronics Community
If so, it is now moved to the "STM32 MCU products" forum board. If not, let me know and I can check further. 

Thanks,
Amelie

Helo Tesla DeLorean,

My message not related to this forum, but i can't send you a private message. I know you are done some project about sdio&emmc for stm32f. I got working sdio&sd. Please contact me in private message. Thanks.

Also, note that the orientation indicated in CubeMX and CubeIDE is wrong with respect to the lettering on the processor.

I reported this a while back, but what can you do?
