Trouble programming custom ATMEGA2560 board

I need some help. I copied the heart of MEGA2560 design into a new project. I have the new PCBs with blank MCUs and now I need to get things programmed. (I have an existing project that runs on a MEGA2560)

I was able to get the MEGA16U2 programmed using the procedure here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Hacking/DFUProgramming8U2, (I loaded "Arduino-usbserial-atmega16u2-Mega2560-Rev3.hex") and it shows up in the Arduino IDE.

I got the ATMEGA2560 bootloader loaded using the Arduino-as-ISP instructions here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoISP

But, now when I try to program my board with the with Arduino IDE (through the USB connection of the MEGA16U2), I just get:

avrdude: stk500v2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout

The full output of the IDE is:

Sketch uses 30056 bytes (11%) of program storage space. Maximum is 253952 bytes.
Global variables use 1280 bytes (15%) of dynamic memory, leaving 6912 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 8192 bytes.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

I can see the RX led of the MEGA16U2 flashing, and the data at the RX pin of the ATMEGA2560 IC, indicating that data is getting to the MCU from the IDE, but there is no corresponding TX activity.

The IDE and USB cable can program an Elegoo MEGA2560 clone with no problem.

Is this a baud rate problem? A protocol problem? What should be my next debugging step?

Thanks!
