Again, for all boards, use /dev/mmcblk0 for card on esdhc0 interface, and /dev/mmcblk1 for card on esdhc1 interface.
That's not board specific.

As I explained,
"Again, for all boards, use /dev/mmcblk0 for card on esdhc0 interface, and /dev/mmcblk1 for card on esdhc1 interface.
That's not board specific."
Without such definition, the index is random for each booting.
