The examples, output, etc. in this article are for the WRT32X.  The WRT3200ACM and various iterations of the WRT1900AC, WRT1900ACS, etc. are similar.


There are just some quick notes here.

</syntaxhighlight>This Works: chpart nand0,X (where X is one of the above #s)
</syntaxhighlight>The above seems (not verfied) to be mounted as: ubiblock1_0


To change active partitions: chpart nand0,X (where X is one of the above #s)


=== Environment Variables ===
Note the bootcmd and nandboot variables.  Essentially the boot command (setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock6;nand read $defaultLoadAddr $priKernAddr $priKernSize; bootz $defaultLoadAddr) breaks down as follows;


Environment Variables (note the nandboot variable)<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
* setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock6
* nand read 0x2000000 0x0900000 0x0600000 (this equates to the above "firmware1" mtd partition, which is defined by OpenWRT as mtd5 / kernel1 (primary kernel image & mtd6 rootfs1 (ubi))
* bootz 0x2000000
