I recently acquired the STM32F469NI-Discovery board as it purported to support most of the functions that I wanted - GUI, USB OTG, SD card, etc. However, on bringing it up, it did not load and remained blank. (Customer support has not been supportive in getting the demo software loaded.) I have been able to run simple TouchGFXDesigner projects with ST332Cube. But, when I try to add simple functionality, I find that what's in he .ioc file does not agree with what's on the board (in the schematic). The best I have been able to do is determine that the promised sample code is not available.
Can someone recommend a newer board that has better support? The larger the display, the better. I can work with almost any daughter board configuration (Arduino, etc.) as long as it is well documented. A primary requirement is that the source code for the examples be easily accessed.
For those interested, this is to be used as a front-end controller for custom lab test equipment. The GUI is primarily to show data as it is collected. This is a process where the control and data vary continuously and the immediate feedback is important. Yes, could probably be done with a commercial product, but the budget is thinner than a shoestring!
