Help in programming the Atmega1284 with maniacbug-mighty-1284p.

retrolefty:
AVRDUDE is it's own independent open source project with no 'official' relationship to Atmel or Arduino that I am aware of.

AVR Downloader/UploaDEr - Summary [Savannah]

I notice that the avrdude version installed with IDE v1.03 is dated 2 Sept 2011, so it's fairly recently
updated. Do you know any of those people who you could contact about the > 64KB issue?

OTOH, the avrdude version supplied with enhanced ERW IDE v.1.03 is dated 5 Nov 2012, and that
IDE still didn't upload working code, re post #75. It sounds like there may be 3 problems needing
fixing: IDE toolchain, avrdude, optiboot/others.
