They don't write it anywhere, but this bootloader doesn't look like
implementing STK500v2 protocol (which would be expected by the
avrispmkII programmer type), but STK500v1, so you need to use -c
stk500v1.

Also, -P usb is only possible for those (Atmel-style) devices that
talk the Atmel USB protocol directly, which is typically performed by
a NXP (formerly Philips) USB PHY chip on the board.  As far as I can
figure out, the communication on your board is handled by an FTDI
FT232 chip.  This one is not handled directly by avrdude.  Instead,
you have to install a driver into your operating system which makes
the connection look like a standard serial connection (that driver
might already be there, I don't know), and then you'll have to use the
respective /dev/XXX device that corresponds to that driver.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
