Seen on E-bay, a Mega board with ATmega2560 processor chip. Does anyone know if the Arduino IDE support this chip directly (bootloader, signature number, AVRDUDE, etc) ?

Does anyone know if the Arduino IDE support this chip directly?

There is not an entry for it in boards.txt so the short answer is no. It shouldn't be too dificult to create an entry, though.

bootloader

Given that the board has "Arduino" on it, I would expect the vendor to provide a compatible bootloader already installed. But it wouldn't hurt to ask!

AVRDUDE

There's a footnot about the 2560...
