Attached below is a version which definitely IS compatible, and was modified by Marcus (on the WP34S team) to operate much more quickly the original Atmel version.

We are all friends here (I hope; plus, you and I have interacted in the past, if this kind of endorsement is worth the bits it's written on ), but suggesting that people install random binaries is just promoting bad security habits. Remember: even paranoids have enemies!

Worse, the flashing tools in https://sourceforge.net/projects/wp34s/files/FlashTool/ come with no source code. I can't really imagine that whoever wrote them think that code has any commercial value, so why not provide the source?

FWIW, the actual SAM-BA software (not to be confused with samba, the open-source implementation of Microsoft's SMB/CIFS protocol!) is now at version 3.8, at https://www.microchip.com/en-us/developm...programmer

As Eric and others, including me, have noted, different versions of My Samba, SAM-BA, etc. work for different chips, it's not a matter of getting the newest one and assuming it handles all prior devices. Also, this is not a 'random' binary, it was created by one of the WP-34S developers, specifically for installing the 34S f/w. Feel fee to be paranoid and search out your own source if needed, but please don't cast aspersions and spread doubt on tested files being shared here in good faith.
