2 Quick start
The STM32F4DISCOVERY is a low-cost and easy-to-use development kit to quickly
evaluate and start a development with an STM32F4 high-performance microcontroller.
Before installing and using the product, please accept the Evaluation Product License
Agreement from www.st.com/stm32f4-discovery.

2.1

Getting started

Follow the sequence below to configure the STM32F4DISCOVERY board and launch the
DISCOVER application:
1. Check jumper position on the board, JP1 on, CN3 on (DISCOVERY selected).
2. Connect the STM32F4DISCOVERY board to a PC with a USB cable 'type A to mini-B'
through USB connector CN1 to power the board. Red LED LD2 (PWR) then lights up.
3. Four LEDs between B1 and B2 buttons are blinking.
4. Press user button B1 to enable the ST MEMS sensor, move the board and observe the
four LEDs blinking according to the motion direction and speed. (If you connect a
second USB cable 'type A to micro-B' between PC and CN5 connector then the board
is recognized as standard mouse and its motion will also control the PC cursor).
5. To study or modify the DISCOVER project related to this demo, visit
www.st.com/stm32f4-discovery and follow the tutorial.
6. Discover the STM32F4 features, download and execute programs proposed in the list
of projects.
7. Develop your own application using available examples.
