do I need to wipe out the eMMC before flashing a new OS to it?

In fact, I didn't do it, and after booting from the eMMC lsblk reports, in addition to the expected mmcblk2p1 and mmcblk2p2, two additional entries: mmcblk2boot0 and mmcblk2boot1. I wonder if those are left over from the previous OS...

Many thanks in advance!!

I'd recommend at  least formatting before flashing an install.

A zero wipe can take quite a bit of time.
