Hi Harold,

One of my project I worked on SPI version this is what I did.
I used pic TX RX pin to talk to PC and thru PC dos software
writes or reads the EEPROM. All you need to do is "add a routine to
write
and read SPI EEPROM" then thru serial port or any available pin control
it.
If the EEPROM data is not big better way is what you do not want to do 
Write it in the pic with key combination press or so.

Subject: [EE] In Circuit Serial Flash Programmer?

I'm looking at using an M25P32 in a PIC project. The data in this chip
will be unchanging, so I don't want to have to write code to program it
through the PIC. Instead, I'm thinking of an in-circuit SPI programmer
that could program the chip before the PIC is programmed (and all lines
are tri-state). Does anyone have a favorite device for this sort of
application? It seems like it should be something that sits on the end
of
a USB cable and connects to the SPI lines and maybe Vpp.

Thanks!

Harold
