Is the TPS65981 Application Customization Tool suitable for the TPS65994 EVM? I noticed that the TPS659x devices are not an option for the existing tool.

Carah,
Our configuration GUI's are very part and firmware release dependent, so it is not possible to use a GUI from one part with another part.
Are you working with a TI FAE to support you?
The TPS65994 collateral is shared using non public means, so it is easiest if you ware working with a FAE. I can work to help you in any case, but that is where I prefer to start.

Chuck, I am using the EVM for educational purposes for a project at my university. I am not currently using an FAE, however, I feel like I'm lacking resources for development. Is there any chance I can access the collateral for this EVM as I've already received the board?
Carah,
I will need to look into how to support you in this case. A lot of the collateral is limited to very specific uses.
The TPS65988DDH would have been a better choice for your use. This part is widely supported and does not integrate any information that is not publicly available.
When previously looking at EVM for USB-C controller it seemed that the TPS65988DDH sample was not available. Is it currently available? I wouldn't have chosen this specific EVM had I known that support was unavailable. My application is primarily for power delivery and being able to discharge and charge a battery through a USB-C port. I'm not concerned with display settings and data transfer.
Carah,
If that is the case, then I suggest you look at this reference design instead. https://www.ti.com/tool/USB-PD-CHG-EVM-01
It integrates a charger onto the board and has a much simpler and better support model.
It also just became available again,.
