Program empty I210 PCIe chip at the first time

[Venkatraman]

Hi,

I use EepromAccessTool to flash the MAC address to I2C chip (PCIe) and I see to use this tool if the board contain an empty flash chip, this tool can’t be used. 

I want to program the empty flash chip, how can I do that? do you have a tool or any method for this?
