STM32F429I-DISC1

Datasheet for stm32F429ZI https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32f429zi.html

This board have a 2.4 Resistive touch TFT LCD. which uses the ILI9341  controller.

The touch screen which I got with this display is very bad. you have to press down on the screen before you power ON the device.

The microcontroller is based on the ARM CORTEX M4F which can be clocked up to 180MHz. This particular board has an 8Mbyte of SDRAM included which is basically useless with this screen. If you want to see the full potential you have to use the LTDC peripheral which when configured with DMA2D gives you a very powerful development board with multimedia capabilites.

STM32F746IGT6 – An ARM CORTEX M7 Based Microcontroller

Datasheet

It’s an ARM Cortex M7 based microcontroller which has a maximum clock speed of 216Mhz.

Well, it has a few peripherals which when combined with its CPU, makes it a very powerful controller.

Those peripherals are LTDC, SDRAM Controller.

It also has the usual set of peripherals from the ST. But these in particular makes it a very powerful microcontroller.
