hi.
it works, but not safe for all addresses of EEPROM's
bcz if address be >255 and device has an EEPROM size
of 256 or more the address of byte must be passed as
<int> value, instead of <uint8_t>. so the only things
you need is to #include <eeprom.h> and for getting a
byte from any address use:

uint8_t value = eeprom_rb( address_of_byte_in_eeprom
);

and for writing:

eeprom_wb( address_of_byte_in_eeprom, value );

good luck.
