When the opcodes AVR_OP_LOADPAGE_LO and AVR_OP_READ_LO are not defined in avrdude.conf for the mem type flash for this device, it uses a_div=1 (byte addressing) instead of a_div=2 (word addressing). So this be easily fixed in avrdude.conf.

From stk500.c stk500_paged_write():
  if ((m->op[AVR_OP_LOADPAGE_LO]) || (m->op[AVR_OP_READ_LO]))
    a_div = 2;
  else
    a_div = 1;

Copy and adapt the definitions from ATmega2560.

Sorry, STK500v1 is not a priority to me right now.

Again, if anyone wants to supply patches, they're welcome.

Thanks for the logfile.  I just realized Arduino is still using
STK500v1 (it's probably the last consumer of that protocol :).  I
don't think anybody did anything lately here (except for fixing the
Arduino reset), so if it works with Xmegas at all, it's purely as a
side-effect from other changes introduced to the generic code.

Patches would be very welcome.  I think I've got some STK500v1
firmware still lying around somewhere, so I might be able to test it
on a real STK500 for comparison.

attached are the input arduino sketch and the resulting avrdude trace.

Thanks.

Could you please attach a communication trace file?  (Output
from avrdude -vvvv, captured in a text file.)

STK500 'U" command takes a word address. Indeed, avrdude seems to be passing word addresses to the arduino bootloader for atmega chips. However, avrdude seems to be passing byte addresses for xmega28a1.
