Why can't some DDR3 HMC control registers be read or written by the CSR interface?

Environment

    Quartus® II Software
    DDR3 SDRAM Controller with UniPHY Intel® FPGA IP
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

There is an issue while using the CSR interface to read and write DDR3 hard memory controller (HMC) control registers in both simulation and lab for the Cyclone® V and Arria® V devices. Some DDR3 HMC control registers can't be read back or written in.

The Controller Register map in Table 5-18 in the external memory interface handbook is for the DDR3 soft memory controller, and not for the DDR3 HMC.

Resolution

This issue has been fixed in the current release of the external memory interface handbook.
