Where is the ArriaIIGX_2agx125_dev_ bup.sof for the ArriaIIGX dev board

Hi, all

On the Arria II GX dev board user guide (https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_us/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_aiigx_fpga_dev_kit.pdf) , "Restoring the Flash Device to the Factory Settings", step 3, I need "Click Add File and select <install dir>\kits\arriaIIGX_2agx125_fpga\factory_recovery\ArriaIIGX_2agx125_dev_bup.sof." This SOF file is also needed on "Programming Flash Memory Using the Nios II EDS". However, I can't find this flash-writing design. I can only find a a2gx125_fpga_bup.sof, no 'dev' in the name.

Does anyone tried these steps before?

Thanks

    Probably there is a typo with the user guide. Just wonder if you did a search into the devkit installation folder, do you find the "dev" .sof? If not, I believe the "fpga" .sof is the right one.
