I am currently repurposing my Arduino Mega 2560s are OpenDeck midi controllers and I seem to be running in to some issues. I am flashing my device a little differently, but still managing to get close. I was able to successfully flash the 16u2 chip with the provided "Mega16u2.hex" firmware:

I then attempted to flash the 2560 chip with the "Mega2560.hex" using the headers on the Arduino with this result:

avrdude done.  Thank you.

I also found that my Arduino 2560 seems to go into bootloader mode when I connect my AVRISP MKii programmer to the 16u2 headers before powering up. Once I do this and load the web configurator, I have to option to choose firmware file. I chose the "Mega2560.hex" file and tried to upload this through the configurator, and it stated that the process was completed, but I still don't get a functional device. Any insight or suggestions on if I am doing something wrong here?

These are the commands I use when flashing via mkII (see: link)

For mega2560:
https://github.com/shanteacontrols/OpenDeck/blob/master/config/mcu/atmega2560.yml#L5

To save you some time, use this as final command for mega16u2 (very slightly adjusted for Windows):

avrdude -p atmega16u2 -P usb -c avrispmkII -e -V -u -U lock:w:0xFF:m -U efuse:w:0xF8:m -U hfuse:w:0xD0:m -U lfuse:w:0xFF:m

avrdude -p atmega16u2 -P usb -c avrispmkII -V -u -U lock:w:0xEF:m

And for mega2560:

avrdude -p atmega2560 -P usb -c avrispmkII -e -V -u -U lock:w:0xFF:m -U efuse:w:0xFC:m -U hfuse:w:0xD0:m -U lfuse:w:0xFF:m
avrdude -p atmega2560 -P usb -c avrispmkII -U flash:w:mega2560.hex
avrdude -p atmega2560 -P usb -c avrispmkII -V -u -U lock:w:0xEF:m

I'm using WinAVR-20100110 if that explains anything

Yeah that's very old. You should use the one provided by Arduino.
https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-1.8.19-windows.exe

It's located in hardware/tools/avr/bin/

Once you install it, go to the following directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin

Execute this (copy mega16u2.hex and mega2560.hex to this directory first):

mega16u2:

./avrdude -p atmega16u2 -C ..\etc\avrdude.conf -P usb -c avrispmkII -e -V -u -U lock:w:0xFF:m -U efuse:w:0xF8:m -U hfuse:w:0xD0:m -U lfuse:w:0xFF:m
./avrdude -p atmega16u2 -C ..\etc\avrdude.conf  -P usb -c avrispmkII -U flash:w:mega16u2.hex
./avrdude -p atmega16u2 -C ..\etc\avrdude.conf -P usb -c avrispmkII -V -u -U lock:w:0xEF:m

mega2560:

./avrdude -p atmega2560  -C ..\etc\avrdude.conf -P usb -c avrispmkII -e -V -u -U lock:w:0xFF:m -U efuse:w:0xFC:m -U hfuse:w:0xD0:m -U lfuse:w:0xFF:m
./avrdude -p atmega2560  -C ..\etc\avrdude.conf -P usb -c avrispmkII -U flash:w:mega2560.hex
./avrdude -p atmega2560  -C ..\etc\avrdude.conf -P usb -c avrispmkII -V -u -U lock:w:0xEF:m

Sorry, Windows is really annoying with these things which is why all the build/flashing guides are written for Linux and mac.
