**UPDATE**
FILES HAVE BEEN UPDATED.
For those who've been following some of my work, I've been designing an eMMC/NAND recovery/replacement Interposer for the Wii-U. This PCB is designed to fit cleanly into place on the Wii-U mainboard without requiring the installer to remove the BGA eMMC module. This tool allows you to more easily read/dump the existing eMMC as well as serving as an eMMC replacement via MicroSD.
The Wii-U NAND-AID is ready for public testing. Based on the feedback and data accumulated, changes will be made accordingly.
I'm going to ask of course that these not be re-uploaded or shared anywhere else. These are EVAL PCBs and aren't for public consumption. Tweaks/changes will be made based on community feedback so please document your testing in this thread. Again, this is a design in progress and the point of this public test is to resolve any issue and to put just a little more polish on the interposer.
The BOM is included within the zip file. These things are extremely cheap to make so it shouldn't cost hardly any money.
****ORDER THESE WITH A PCB THICKNESS OF EITHER 0.6MM OR 0.8MM AND INSULATE THE BOTTOM OF THE PCB****
The "DIS" jumper pulls the clock on the eNAND/eMMC to ground so that it's not floating. You'll want to keep this opened when dumping the eMMC and short it once you're finished with the original eMMC so that it has a defined logic state.
I don't have time to maintain a GITHUB for this, I just want to design this thing and get it out in the public so that people have a reasonably decent solution and answer for their NAND corrupt WIi-Us.
Thank you everyone.

@skawo was kind enough to take the time to document the procedure of installing the NAND-AID and recovering the data. You can find that information, here.
