Application note
Migration of microcontroller applications from
STM32F42xxx/STM32F43xxx to STM32F469xx/STM32F479xx
Introduction
For more and more applications using STM32 products, it is important to migrate a project
easily to a different microcontroller in the same product family.
Migrating an application to a different microcontroller is often needed, when product
requirements grow, putting extra demands on memory size, or increasing the number of
I/Os. On the other hand, cost reduction objectives may force you to switch to smaller
components and shrink the PCB area.
This application note is intended to help you to analyze the steps you need to migrate from
an existing STM32F42xxx/STM32F43xxx devices based design to
STM32F469xx/STM32F479xx devices. It groups together all the most important information
and lists the vital aspects that you need to address.
The current document lists “full set” of features for STM32F42xxx/STM32F43xxx and
STM32F469xx/STM32F479xx series in the comparisons made (some products may have
less features depending on their part number).
Migrating between the two devices within the same family could require hardware and/or
software changes in some cases. Changes that might be required are described in this
document.To fully benefit from the information in this application note, the user should be
familiar with the STM32 microcontroller family.
This application note has to be read in conjunction with STM32F42xxx/STM32F43xxx and
STM32F469xx/STM32F479xx reference manuals (RM0090 and RM0386) and datasheets
available at www.st.com.

PCB design compatibility
The STM32F469xx/STM32F479xx devices are not identical with the
STM32F42xxx/STM32F43xxx devices in term of MCU port assignment to package
terminals, that is, in term of pinout or ballout. This holds for all common package types of the
package list in Table 2, ordered from biggest to smallest. For migrating from STM32F42xxx
or STM32F43xxx to STM32F469xx or STM32F479xx, the differences in pinout or ballout
have to be reflected in the PCB design. Keeping the same LQFP176, UFBGA169 or
LQFP208 package, a new PCB design can hardly be avoided. Keeping the same
TFBGA216 or UFBGA176 package, it is easier to use the same PCB design as the pinout /
ballout differences are weaker. Therefore, for the latter packages, the microcontrollers from
either series allow PCB design compatibility.

Peripheral migration guide
2.1
STM32 product cross-compatibility
The STM32 series embeds a set of peripherals which can be classed in three
categories:

The first category is for the peripherals which are by definition common to all products.
Those peripherals are identical, so they have the same structure, registers and control
bits. There is no need to perform any firmware change to keep the same functionality at
the application level after migration. All the features and behavior remain the same.

The second category is for the peripherals which are shared by all products but have
only minor differences (in general to support new features), so migration from one
product to another is very easy and does not need any significant new development
effort.

The third category is for peripherals which have been considerably changed from one
product to another (new architecture, new features...). For this category of peripherals,
migration will require new development at application level.
The Table 8 summarizes the available peripherals of the STM32F42xxx/STM32F43xxx and
STM32F469xx/STM32F479xx families and their compatibility.
