Initial component power state

Thu Sep 12, 2013 3:55 pm

Hello again!

When I boot up my bare metal OS and query the mailbox for the power state of the SD card, it return 0 (Off, Exists).
Now I hope this is correct and that I haven't done something wrong. I'm just curious as to why it would be turned off,
does the bootloader turn it off for me after it finishes loading my kernel.img or what's going on?

(If someone could verify that it turned off initially that would be super)

Thanks!

Simon
