Burning bootloader question
Have you tried Megacore?

Bootload and program atmega2560 standalone using arduino mega
I want to program and use an ATMEGA2560 breakout board. I intend to only use the minimal setup (only the breakout board, using its internal oscillator). I want to bootload this into the atmega2560.

Software For Embedded Programming.
Note also that, if you are on linux, there's the great https://bloom.oscillate.io/ project, which makes it really easy to debug AVR chips; I had great results and a wonderful experience with Bloom + VSCodium + Native debug plugin, or with CLion.
