Datasheet:
Cadence DDR Controller Register Reference Manual For DDR4 Memories
Chapter 2: Detailed Register Map

If that datasheet is not public, no need to mention it here. At least a
quick web search cannot find something relevant.

Maybe it could be denoted, that is not public (and also the version), but even mentioning non-public datasheets is useful, as they could be made public in the future, and allows everyone to contact people with access to these datasheets to take a look into the specific datasheet.


Kind regards,

Paul
