Where did you get info about openwode? There is nothing on internet about this file. Are you sure it existed?
Asked also on assembler and gcforever forum but no luck. If you find the file remember to post also here.
I actually couldn't find anything online even suggesting that the wode had any modern day use, so I threw it and the SD card into the trash about 8 weeks ago or so.
Oof. I was digging through a box of old junk and came across my old wode and an SD card in it that I believe had it, since I do remember downloading it and storing it, but never ended up utilizing it.

can't find that file, but i can find two interesting sites, one with a DIY ode for the wii, and opensource wode for wiiWell, I'm moving this back up as I'm searching for "OPENWODE.RAR" too...
The diy wode for the wii is not diy, this is the initial prototype of the wode. And the opensource wode is only software that runs on the wode. Unfortunately the sources of the wode where never released.can't find that file, but i can find two interesting sites, one with a DIY ode for the wii, and opensource wode for wii

Wodebrew is nothing more that homebrew apps for the WODE itself - most likely USB Loaders only and therefore really boring.
Aside from your finding regarding the DIY thing, I found something interesting right here:
https://github.com/alicemirror/Open-Wode-Backfire
Though, it's only an empty repository and it was created before the OPENWODE.RAR file was released in Jan. 2012.
You're wrong from what i can tell. The OPENWODE.RAR file contained something like a description / code on how to make it run some other bootloader like "u-Boot". Though, that would have to run from USB loading all the stuff from there.
The WODE usually does this: run code from the ARM (BootROM) and check a (hash?) against the kernel file in SPI-NOR flash. If that fails, it tries to boot from NAND (which isn't available). If it fails there, it goes into USB DFU boot mode where I suspect it may be able to read the WODE Unbricker DFU file from there.
According to the NXP PDF for the LPC313x, you can force the ARM to switch to boot from USB DFU mode by setting the GPIO0, GPIO1 and GPIO2 registers correctly. For some other LPC's by NXP it's also possible to set the registers using compiled code and after that do a reset of the chip.
See http://www.elde.cz/datasht/lpc3131.linux quickstart guide - embedded artists.pdf page 13 & 25
and https://www.embeddedartists.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/LPC3131_41_OEM_Board_Users_Guide.pdf page 29 & 30
Anyway...
I'm still searching for the OPENWODE.RAR file.
Maybe it's possible to get into contact with the original developers...?

Yeah that's not what I'm worried about here, I just want to freshen up the software some.The "magic" of the WODE happens inside the Actel Proasic chip that takes care of optical drive interfacing. That chip was used in many modchips and ODE, like the WKF/WASP for the wii or the xecuter x3 for xbox. This is what you need to recreate the Wode. The NXP chip is used for file handling/lcd/usb/network, not drive interfacing. We do not have the files for configure and program the Proasic. Also that chip is out of production.
