STM32F429 Discovery Kit - Try a bare metal F411 demo

My examination of addresses and such on the F429 documents leads me to believe that I have a good chance of just being able to run one of my F411 bare metal demos "as-is". So I decide to try it.

I have dumped the contents of flash as shipped to me, so I am ready to take the frightening step of writing over the top of it.
I do this: 

cd Projects
cd STM32/Black_pill/Archive/serial1
make
make flash

The display goes blank. The Green LED is no longer flashing.

Serial traffic -- it works!!

I open another window and run: 
picocom -b 115200 /dev/ttyACM0
....
Testing 282
Testing 283
Testing 284
And there it goes, running as it did on the F411
