3 The OpenSTM32 wiki have a [page](http://www.openstm32.org/Getting%2Bstarted%2Bwith%2BSystem%2BWorkbench%2Bfor%2BSTM32) to start a project from scratch. With the latest version of every support libraries and sources from ST. But here I prefer to have a project with the support files validated (and compatible) with the _OSTC4_ code.

10 - We do have a _STM32F427IIT6_ chip as CPU1. But the support file provided by _ST_ lake for _LCD TFT Display Controller_ (aka LTDC), even in the latest available version 1.7.2 from 2017-11-06... So we use the STM32F429IITx support file instead, that seems to be similar enough.
