Ah, I see.

Here results of my latest experiments:

OMAP5432EVM (boot from µSD - can’t boot from eMMC yet with my setup):

root@gta04:~# find /sys/devices/platform/*ocp/*.mmc -print -prune -exec ls 
{}/mmc_host \;
/sys/devices/platform/44000000.ocp/4809c000.mmc
mmc2
/sys/devices/platform/44000000.ocp/480ad000.mmc
mmc1
/sys/devices/platform/44000000.ocp/480b4000.mmc
mmc0
root@gta04:~# fgrep mmcblk /proc/partitions

 179       16       2048 mmcblk0boot1

BBB booted from eMMC (and a non-bootable µSD inserted):

root@gta04:~#  find /sys/devices/platform/*ocp/*.mmc -print -prune -exec ls 
{}/mmc_host \;
/sys/devices/platform/ocp/48060000.mmc
mmc0
/sys/devices/platform/ocp/481d8000.mmc
mmc1
root@gta04:~# fgrep mmcblk /proc/partitions
 179        0    3833856 mmcblk0
 179        1     191689 mmcblk0p1
 179        2    3642102 mmcblk0p2
 179       16       1024 mmcblk0boot1
 179        8       1024 mmcblk0boot0
 179       24     498176 mmcblk1
 179       25       7836 mmcblk1p1
 179       26     490336 mmcblk1p2
root@gta04:~# 

BBB booted from a µSD:

root@gta04:~# find /sys/devices/platform/*ocp/*.mmc -print -prune -exec ls 
{}/mmc_host \;
/sys/devices/platform/ocp/48060000.mmc
mmc0
/sys/devices/platform/ocp/481d8000.mmc
mmc1
root@gta04:~# root@gta04:~# fgrep mmcblk /proc/partitions
 179        0    7822336 mmcblk0
 179        1     391113 mmcblk0p1
 179        2    7431158 mmcblk0p2
 179        8    3833856 mmcblk1
 179        9     191689 mmcblk1p1
 179       10    3642102 mmcblk1p2
 179       24       1024 mmcblk1boot1
 179       16       1024 mmcblk1boot0
root@gta04:~# 

So the mapping to mmc0, mmc1, mmc2… is defined by the hardware addresses of the 
MMC controllers on the SoC (and the DT nodes).
And the sequence is reversed between AM335x and OMAP5.

The other observation is that the mapping of the mmcblk device numbers is as 
described by the article: boot device becomes mmcblkp0 and the other becomes 
mmcblkp1.

But only on the BBB.

Hm. I still wonder about the magic behind this…

BR and thanks,
Nikolaus
