    It depends entirely what you want to use it for, if it contains the setup defaults for your system it will probably require loading before use - or you could have the host controller load setup defaults to it if the EEPROM is blank. Both methods are commonly used.

    The EEPROM is just extra storage. Period. Don't make simple things complicated. Cheers!
