Hi Christian,

My experience with the Arduino Mega 2560 is that the bootloader doesn't
always react correctly when the programmer is set to stk500.  If there is
somewhere you can set this, try changing it to "wiring" -- this works for
me and Avrdude at the command-line anyhow.  You might also try doing this
from the command-prompt in MacOS, assuming avrdude and tools are easy to
locate/configure:

    avrdude -F -v -p atmega2560 -P/dev/tty.usbmodem1d11 -cwiring -D -Uflash:w:concurrency.hex:i

(replacing "concurrency.hex:i" with the appropriate Transterpreter image and
file-format).  Others on the list might be able to help more than myself here!


Cheers,

-- Fred
