The board you refer to is a F407VG. You can find some pointers on using that with mbed on this page. Basically you select the Seeed Arch Max platform in the online compiler and you have to use programmer software like ST-Link utility to flash the code to the platform.

Wim Huiskamp,

Thank you for the help. I managed to blink the LEDs on the "STM32F4 DISCOVERY" board by following your answer.

Do you know if there is a way to add the "STM32F4 DISCOVERY" board into the "Select Platform" option on the right top corner of the on-line mbed compiler, instead of selecting the "Seeed Arch Max" platform?

New platform options for the online compiler can only be added by mbed staff. This probably wont happen for the F407 Disco since it does not support drag & drop programming which is the rule for true mbed platforms.
