Yes, e.MMC provides two boot partitions to provide fast access to boot code for improved system boot time. Booting from boot partitions can provide access to stored data in ~50ms, whereas booting from the user area can take hundreds of milliseconds. However, in order to utilize the boot partitions, the chipset must be able to support booting from the boot partition. Check with your chipset vendor to understand if booting from the e.MMC boot partitions is supported.
