The NAND-X is a specialized programmer used to interface with the Xbox 360's SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) functions that allow for external reading and programming of linked system components on the console's mainboard. As the functions used are generally specific to the configuration used in the Xbox 360, the NAND-X is only currently able to interface with Xbox 360s. The only exception is the external expansion port on the device. This port currently allows for XSVF playback, which is used to program JTAG-enabled devices, like the CR and any other glitch-chip. When I say "JTAG-enabled", I'm not referring to the older exploit on Xbox 360 consoles that utilizes the GPU's JTAG port, but instead the protocol itself. The JTAG, or Joint Test Action Group, is a series of hardware command implementations used for testing and otherwise accessing hardware diagnostics in various electronics. This port is also able to be used for programming, as it's used in programming the CR chips, and modifying data in running components, as is used in the SMC JTAG exploit. As such, the NAND-X can, technically, reprogram compatible JTAG-enabled chips as well, but only a handful are supported.
The NAND-X is designed for Xbox 360 consoles, in short, so don't expect it to work for anything else without major tweaking.
