Why do I see cache coherency problems between the HPS and FPGA on HPS designs using ACE-Lite interfaces in Intel Quartus Prime Pro version 20.4 and earlier?

Environment

    Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

Due to a problem in the Intel© Quartus© Prime Pro software version 20.4 and earlier, incorrect AXI signal values may be seen on transactions between
ARM® AMBA® AXI ACE-Lite Managers using the ARM AXI ACE-Lite protocol to connect to other logic in Platform designer,  such as HPS FPGA to SOC Bridges or Avalon® Agents.   This may be seen at run time as cache coherency errors. 

Resolution

Patch 0.28 for the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro software version 20.4 is available to fix this problem.   Download and install the patch from the
