Returns the status of the device after its initialization (that happens
at startup, not that happens when init() is called).
+ The status is a tuple of 2 strings, the first is either "true" or
+ "false", depending on whether or not the device initialization was
+ successful, and the second is an arbitrary error string.
Use this function to figure out if something went wrong at bootup, and
what.
