Product details
Overview
STM32479I-EVAL from STMicroelectronics is an evaluation board for the STM32F479II microcontroller, featuring a 180 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4 core with FPU, 2 MB Flash, 384+4 KB RAM, dual Quad-SPI, MIPI DSI host controller, Chrom-ART Accelerator™, and hardware crypto engine. It supports high-resolution TFT-LCD and MIPI DSI displays, Ethernet MAC, USB OTG HS/FS, and camera interface - designed for graphical HMI development in industrial control panels and medical display systems.
For engineers reviewing the STM32479I-EVAL datasheet, STM32479I-EVAL pinout, STM32479I-EVAL application, or STM32479I-EVAL equivalent, this page provides verified board-level specifications, supported MCU peripherals, on-board interfaces (LCD, Ethernet, USB, SDIO), power architecture, debug connectivity (ST-LINK/V2-1), and real-world use context for rapid prototyping of embedded GUI applications.
Technical Context
The board implements the full peripheral capability of the STM32F479II MCU: it routes all 161 GPIOs to headers or functional blocks, exposes dual Quad-SPI for external flash/XIP, connects MIPI DSI lanes to a 7-inch 720p DSI panel, and integrates a 10/100 Ethernet PHY (LAN8742A) with MII/RMII support. The LCD-TFT controller drives parallel RGB888 up to XGA (1024×768) via 24-bit bus.
On-board resources include ST-LINK/V2-1 debugger (SWD/JTAG), 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM, 1 GB NAND flash, microSD slot, audio codec (CS43L22), stereo audio jacks, and user LEDs/buttons. Power is managed via adjustable DC-DC converters supporting 5 V input and generating 3.3 V, 1.2 V, and 1.8 V rails per MCU requirements.

FAQ
Does STM32479I-EVAL support external SDRAM expansion beyond the onboard 512 MB?
No - the board integrates a fixed 512 MB DDR2 SDRAM (MT47H64M16HR-3) directly mapped to the MCU's Flexible Memory Controller (FMC). While the FMC supports additional memory types (NOR/NAND/PSRAM), no unpopulated footprint or routing exists for second SDRAM chips. Expansion requires custom carrier board design using FMC signals routed to headers.
Can the MIPI DSI interface drive third-party DSI panels?
Yes - the board provides standard MIPI DSI differential pairs (CLKP/CLKN, DAT0P/DAT0N, DAT1P/DAT1N) with 100 Ω impedance control and 1.8 V DSI PHY voltage. Panel compatibility depends on timing register configuration in firmware; ST-provided firmware supports common 720p panels, but custom initialization sequences are required for non-reference displays.
Is the Ethernet PHY (LAN8742A) accessible via RMII or only MII?
Both - the LAN8742A is wired for MII by default, but RMII operation is enabled via hardware jumpers (JP3/JP4) and corresponding MCU pin remapping in software. RMII reduces pin count and simplifies PCB layout, while MII supports full 100 Mbps throughput with precise timing control.
What debugging features does the onboard ST-LINK/V2-1 provide?
The ST-LINK/V2-1 supports SWD and JTAG debugging, real-time tracing via SWO, memory read/write at full speed, breakpoint/step execution, and automatic firmware update. It also enables UART virtual COM port communication and mass storage programming mode for drag-and-drop binary flashing without additional tools.
