Software is not compatible, these devices are based on different HW platforms.We recommend to use BQ40z50-R2.

BQ40z50-R2 is not pin-to-pin replacement to BQ30z554-R1. I'd recommend looking at the EVM user's guide (https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/sluuav7b/sluuav7b.pdf) to see circuit schematic and PCB layout considerations.
Thanks,

This device uses BQEVSW (BQ Evaluation Software) which is our older SW toolchain. Our latest toolchain is BQStudio (https://www.ti.com/tool/BQSTUDIO) which works with our newer gauges such as BQ40z50-R2.

Is there a hardware compatible model of bq30z554-r1? I don't want to redesign the circuit.
Thanks
Unfortunately we do not have a HW compatible model of this device. If you do have to change schematic and layout in order to use a newer gauge such as BQ40z50-R2, our applications team can help to review your schematic.
Thanks,
