As far as I can tell there is only one (DK-DEV-4SGX530N) : http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-siv-gx.html#contents

I downloaded the kit installation for this board with the factory recovery files and instructions, etc. I tried using the "restore.sh" and also using NIOS II FLASH programmer.

The programmer gave me an error saying that the JTAG IDs of the CPLD and CFI mismatch. I compared the CFI memory map with the 230 version of the board at it is different.

The user HW space for the 530 starts at 0x2000000 while the 230 starts at 0xC200000. I wonder if Altera has an archive of configuration files for older boards? although they are still selling

them for $5995...

Thanks Dave,
