Probably Altera itself: http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-siv-gx.html

Which one else could make the same complicated board?

Could be Terasic: http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?language=english&categoryno=138&no=501 but that isn't the board You're looking for I suppose, since it's named DE4.

Terasic could design the DE4.
But my question is which pcb manufacturer made the print circuit board. - Altera_Forum
Honored Contributor
Ohh.. the PCB itself! That's a hard question :) I'd ask Altera FAE.

This board here is at least as complicated as the Stratix IV board (though it does not use high-speed transceivers, just 1Gbps LVDS); http://www.ovro.caltech.edu/~dwh/carma_board/ (http://www.ovro.caltech.edu/%7edwh/carma_board/) The PCBs were manufactured by http://www.ddiglobal.com/ The LVDS traces were routed differentially through the 1mm pitch BGA. The vias on the underside were epoxy filled and plated so that I could place decoupling caps directly on the BGA vias on the rear of the PCB. Its an 18-layer board, with about 2500 parts, and 12000 nets. The schematic and PCB files are on the web page, you can open the PCB file in Allegro's free viewer. Cheers, Dave - Altera_Forum

Thanks Dave.
We will have the same complicated design. so we need to know which pc baord shop can make it. - Altera_Forum
