  • Hello Roy,

    1. The chip on my eval board has a a suffix of DJ and that option does not appear in the part selection menu of the configuration tool Only DH and DK.

    The TPS65988DJ is used for thunderbolt and requires a thunderbolt reference design.

    Is your final design going to be a thunderbolt design? 

    2. I cannot connect to the eval board via FTDI

    The TPS65988DJ EVM has a TIVA not a FTDI.

    Best Regards,

    Christian.
