+
+#### Default Values
+
+Extending the above example, a default value for the datablock can be configured as follows:
+
+```c
+void eeconfig_init_user_datablock(void) {
+    my_config_t default_config = {
+        .data = 42,
+    };
+    eeconfig_update_user_datablock(&default_config, 0, sizeof(my_config_t));
+}
+```
+
+::: tip
+For large datablocks, you might need to manually update in chunks to avoid memory issues.
