No, it was badly phased indeed. It means u-boot is loaded but my
u-boot command file (boot.scr) does no seem to be loaded.

This may be the case. I have two quick questions:
 1. is nv u-boot clearly identified in its version string? Or how can
I check that?
 2. how can I enter nv-u-boot console without entering u-boot console?

Thanks for the suggestions.
