project involving 24LC256P

hello.
i am very new to parallax. i mainly deal with arduino (quite basic in the software side) and electronics not requiring micro chips and such.
I'm trying to build a module for a synth that i can't afford and really like, which is why i bought a parallax propeller and a propstick.
ive come around to working on this and I'm a bit stumped, its quite hard to find the answers to my questions so i hope this doesn't bug and seem really rookie!
ok i have a schematic in front of me involving a propellor, a 5MHz resonator and a 24LC256P
i also have the code on SPIN.
do i need to burn something onto the EEPROM? or just the propellor?
i just need to get over this hurdle of burning the code onto whatever i need to put it on so i can start building the rest of the project!
much help would really be appreciated.
thanks

With the Propeller Tool v1.3.2,
F11 will write to the EEPROM, F10 only writes to the RAM on the Propeller.

Unlike the Arduino, where there is Flash and EEPROM within the one chip to store compiled programs. The Propeller uses an out-board EEPROM to retain the compiled programs.
You can operate without the EEPROM, but you have to download your binary every time you restart the Propeller via a serial port.
For your first attempt, the EEPROM doesn't require any preliminary preparation. The Propeller will manage proper loading and care of the EEPROMs binary image. And you certainly DO NOT need to buy an EEPROM programmer.
