I have found this board delivered for $26AUD https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001048 ... 4c4d5Oqsga at that price I just have to get 1.
Considering the amount of flash and RAM on this board and the fact it has both a header for a small SPI TFT and a FPC connector for a camera it could be very fun to play with.
You can get the camera sensors cheap https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000035 ... hweb201603_
The correct screens that plug in have been much harder to find so I might make my own as have some ST7735 lying around and will make a homemade PCB to mount it on.
Here is the offical 1.8" 320x160 1 for sale https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32942756937.html
Here is the smaller and cheaper 1.44" 128x128 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3289107 ... aefaVKZa3T

Don't believe sellers without any descriptions...

Re: New STM32H743VIT6 dev boards
It certainly seem very cheap
Re: New STM32H743VIT6 dev boards
STM says the H750 has only 128kbyte flash, but the chip I have has 2 mbyte flash on it.
If you boot in DFU over USB the bootloader hangs if you try to write all 2mbyte. But connecting a debugger over SWD all 2mbyte are available and work.
Re: New STM32H743VIT6 dev boards
According to the datasheet, the B in STM32H750BT6 means that it only has 128K of flash.
There don't seem to be any other variants shown.
Manufacturers often use a process called binning where they make a part which is more generic (say a 2Mb flash) and after testing if any failures are seen beyond the 128K mark then they'll sell it as a 128K part. Just because you may be able to detect flash beyond the 128K mark doesn't mean that it will all work well.
They do similar things with temperature, frequency, etc.
Also be aware that sometimes (I ran into this on the L series) there are flash banks, and some banks will show up multiple places in the memory space. So you could say write to the first 128K and the second 128K would also appear to exist but it would in fact be a shadow of the first 128K.
A test to verify how much memory there really is is to take a 4 byte number and increment it by 4 for each value. Then write that to the flash and after writing all of the values go back and read all of the values and see if they all come back correctly. This is how I discovered the shadow banks on the L series part.

DEVEBOX STM32H750 micropython binaries and installation notes
Re: New STM32H743VIT6 dev boards
Does anybody know if STM32H743 requires external SPI FLASH memory for functioning with micropython?
In my custom board I use STM32H743 chip which I tried to flash via ST-LINK with .hex from link below
https://micropython.org/download/VCC_GND_H743VI/
My PC can't find any additional flash drive when I have my board connected via USB.
Thanks in advance for replies.
