Partitioning is supported on ARM, ARM64, MIPS, TILE, and PowerPC RouterB= OARD type devices.
It is possible to partition NAND flash, allowing to install own OS on ea= ch partition and specify primary and fallback partitions.
If a partition should fail for some reason (failed upgrade, problematic = configuration introduced, software problem), the next partition will boot i= nstead. This can be used as an interactive backup where you keep a verified= working installation and upgrade only some secondary partition. If you upg= rade your configuration, and it proves to be good, you can use the "save co= nfig" button to copy it over to other partitions.
Repartitioning of the NAND requires the latest bootloader version<= /p>
Minimum partition sizes:
The maximum number of allowed partitions is 8.
