Discovery board also contains STMod+ and PMOD connectors.
The new component is STMod+ connector.
It is expanded connector for connecting of board to breadboard. You can connect very popular WiFi module ESP8266 to STM32L496.
Schematic:
On the other side you find PMOD connector (peripheral module).
It's connector for connecting a lot of modules like LCD, network adapters or analog and digital converters.
