[AVR] Is it possible to Program or install bootloader to ATMEL 2560 using Arduino uno board

[eebhoi01]

Hello,

I'm wondering if I could use the Arduino Uno board to program or say install bootloader to ATMEL 2560.

My first idea is to create a PCB where I can solder the ATMEL 2560 chip with header pins that will fit perfectly in the Atmel 320p socket in the Arduino uno board. So then I can download the bootloader?

Or

Can i program the Atmel 2560 via ICSP pin of the ARduino Uno board and download the Arduino bootloader into it? If this is possible can anyone teach me, please.


Looking forward to hear from you guys, cheers. Thanks in advance.

Replace the 328P with 2560.

Also see if MegunoLink Pro can be used for Programming.
