No, you cannot (at least not unless you are willing to manually build
the boot sector using "mw" commands and then writing it to the
drive). Boot an OS for this purpose...

It is possible with "gpt" command (please look into the Samsung's Trats
board).
This allows for GPT restoration/setting (and it is already at mainline).
Another option is to use "ums" command. It "floats" on the mailing list
for some time. With this command you can export eMMC device via usb and
format with standard linux tools?
