@mkeyno

depending on your bootloader, you should be able to use the 'wiring' protocol like an mega2560 uses [or the bootloaders I've done for 128A1[U] and 128A4U. However, if you don't have a compatible bootloader, then you'll probably need to use a PDI-capable programmer that's also supported by Arduino's IDE. Sorry if that's bad news. I use AVR ISP Mk II but that's no longer made by ATMel as far as I can tell. They have another (more expensive) programmer, though, so hopefully that one works with avrdude [I have not yet tried it].

added some additional support for 128A4U, similar to the 128A1U for the bootloader.

(bootloader still needs USB version)
