We are not using OS but we will be using starterware. So What I have
understood is that on power on I will hard reset eMMC reset line to active
low through a GPIO and will not touch it anywhere after that and use the
GPMC lines for NOR Flashing and Booting as well through starterware.I hope
i have understood gerald.

I do not need eMMC for my requirement as of now. Rather I will use my
custom board / custom cape on expander header with two chips one OTP and
other parallel NOR Flash controlled by CSn0 and CSn1 and used for storing
boot program and application software respectively. OTP will test the
content of NOR Flash [checksum] and then application will be executed from
NOR.
