I want to use Eclipse to develop code I will be uploading to my Atmega 2560 microcontroller. I could easily use the Arduino IDE to do this, but in my opinion, developing on Eclipse is a whole lot easier.
So, I followed this guide.
I get to the step where I have to add a programmer, but when I click on the Add button, nothing happens.
Does anyone have an idea as to what might be the problem?
The issue here is that 6.0.x series of avrdude uses a different configuration file which the avr-eclipse plugin is not able to parse. There is a ticket filed for this in the bug tracker in SourceForge.
A temporary solution would be to downgrade to avrdude 5.11.x.
Cheers.
