You can access an EEPROM using the "eeprom read" and "eeprom write"
commands - that's all you should need here.

NO, you cannot put the DT blob (nor any other binary data) in the
environment (at least not without adding code for handling binary
blobs, which in turn would probably cause more problems that it
helps).  In short, forget that...

Best regards,
