STM32 F4 discovery
The STM32 F4 discovery is an evaluation board for the ARM Cortex-M4 STM32F407VGT6 MCU.
This board has an integrated STLink compatible interface which can be configured to allow the programming of either the board itself or to program an external device.
As with all STM evaluation boards there is lengthy list of restrictions in place regarding what you can and can't do with an evaluation board. See this document.

CN3 is used to configure either internal or external programming:
BOTH jumpers on: ST-LINK on board enabled, CN2 SWD disabled. BOTH jumpers off: ST-LINK on board disabled, CN2 SWD enabled.
There are different revisions of this board and the sample here is the MB997C. One difference between this and the original board revision MB997B is that they changed the MEMS sensor from the LIS302DL to the LIS3DSH. The LIS3DSH is now obsolete and has been replaced by the LIS3DH.

Virtual COM port
VCP on the board is supported, however, the pins were left unconnected and ST propose you use jumper leads to fix this oversight.
LED demo
Install OpenCM3.
Install STLink programmer.
Enter the OpenCM3 fancy blink example's sub-directory and program the chip.
