+### General information
+
+The board is identical to the @ref boards_stm32f429i-disc1 except that it uses
+an older on-board ST-LINK debugger that does not provide a serial UART interface.
+
+To mitigate that, stdio is instead provided through the micro-USB connector using
+RIOT's CDC ACM functionality.
