2. Download our arduino mega port and place under trunk$\src\platform

arduinomega.rar
ArduinoMega port
(94 KiB) Downloaded 66 times

3. Under trunk$, do
make PLATFORM=arduinomega

If it shows pmfeatures.h is missing, please check that you are using the make from WinAVR.
Correct the PATH to make sure you are using that make.

The following is the command to check:

$ make --version

This program built for i386-pc-mingw32

4. The next step is to program the generated main.hex to the Arduino mega board.

You need STK500, and install AVR studio. Choose Device type ATMEGA1280, and fuse setting
