I have a board with a 644P and it works great. I just popped in a 1284P and used AVR Studio to upload the bootloader.
I am using the 0020 cores from avr-developers.com. I modified boards.txt so that there is an entry for the 1284P with a 16 MHz clock, since that's what my board is clocked at. I then compiled the blink example sketch and tried to upload it to the board. Here is what I saw:
Binary sketch size: 1222 bytes (of a 122880 byte maximum)
avrdude: AVR Part "atmega1284p" not found.
Followed by a long list of supported chips, of which the 1284P was not among them.
Now to push my luck a bit... Would you have a HEX file for a bootloader that clocks at 16 MHz? I thought i found one but I can't seem to get it to work
I know this should be an wasy error to find int eh conf file, but line 320 looks fine to me, nd I retyped it to make sure there were no hidden characters. Here is the error avrdude spits out through the IDE:
Binary sketch size: 450 bytes (of a 32256 byte maximum)
error at C:\Users\jim\Desktop\arduino-0022\hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf:320 unrecognized character: "a"

Someone else will have to help with that one. I have never built a bootloader and I don't have time right now to figure out how.

Argh! Either the forum alters the file (e.g. changes line-feeds to carriage-return-line-feeds) or the you will need the latest avrdude to go with the new configuration file.
The choices available to you...
? I'll put the file somewhere else and you try again
? You locate the original source file (I think the project is hosted on SourceForge), download it, and try again
? You can "upgrade" to the latest AVR-GCC compiler...
If you would like to try the first choice, just let me know and I'll find a different home for the file.
