Where is the datasheet? OR Where is my tutorial?

I bought a discovery board with STM32F4 family processor (comes with a TFT LCD). I have my IDE working and downloaded CubeMX and generated some init code - no problem.

Now, I don't know how to do anything! How do I toggle a pin? How do I use the peripherals? Where is all that sort of data written?I went through all the files in the discovery board page and nothing really helpful in there. The only thing I have managed to understand is that CubeF4 is contains libraries and drivers that I can use to simplify development. But is there any text on these? A datasheet of some sorts that also explains a bit about the architecture? #discovery #stm23f4 #getting-started

Data for chip, and design support information.

I'd recommend the Standard Peripheral Library over Cube

And the firmware examples for the STM32F429I-DISCO

Ignore the Cube messaging, go to the Red Download buttons at the bottom of the pages. Should be a Windows Help file in the root directory of one of the packages.
