The MJOLNIR Mark VI BIOS is the basic input/output system, standard firmware interface for the MJOLNIR Mark VI armor.[1]
Introduction
The Mark VI BIOS is firmware, designed to be the first code run by the MJOLNIR Armor when activated. The initial function of the BIOS is to identify, test, and initialize system devices such as the heads-up display, energy shield systems and other hardware.
The BIOS handles most of the MJOLNIRs software functions when initiated. Updates to the BIOS allows newer hardware to be supported and function.
BIOS versions can be viewed though the Mark VI magnification system when no weapon is being held or no zoom supported weapon is being held or at the top of upper half of the Heads-up display
This firmware succeeds the Mark V BIOS for the previous MJOLNIR Mark V armor.
BIOS versions
- Mark VI: MARK VI BIOS: S43.3945782.01[2]
John-117 used this BIOS in 2552 during the Raid on Kilimanjaro up till after the Battle of Installation 00.
- John's Upgraded Mark VI: ARMOR BIOS:/ A.DEKKA.0037.FALCON[note 1]
This BIOS was created by Cortana sometime after the Battle of Installation 00. And was used by John-117 at least till he returned to Earth in July 26 2558.
- GEN2 Mark VI: ARMOR BIOS// MJOLNIR / VER_12.22.12 / ID_117.[3]
This BIOS was used by John-117 during the Raid on UNSC Argent Moon on October 23rd 2558. And is the current BIOS used by him.
Trivia
- In the Halo 3 Beta to the right of the Mark VI BIOS was a long line of binary code. The code translates to David Candland, Bungie's interface designer.
- In the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, the Mark VI BIOS is used as a placeholder for the Mark V BIOS.
