compiling/assembling:
as Marcin has asked: What tools are you using? Assembling will work with
the AvrAssembler2 that comes with AvrStudio (it can be run with wine on Linux),
will work with avra when using the latest source from the git repository.
It will not work with the assembler that comes with avr-gcc, as far as I know.

uploading:
Im using
a. a dragon board
b. a AVR MKII programmer
c. a homebrew thing called sp12 dongle
all without a problem

Starting from
https://amforth.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/amforth/releases/4.5/appl/
template is a directory holding a generic fileset, which needs to be edited
          (Makefile and template.asm)
atmega2561 may be of help (I don't have such a device).

If you are working on Windows, please refer to Karl Lunts user guide:
http://amforth.sourceforge.net/amforth-userguide.pdf

If you are working on Linux, this document could be helpful, too:
