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 allow 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. The Mark VI's current BIOS version is S43.3945782.01.[2]
Trivia
- In the Halo 3 Beta to the right of the Mark VI BIOS was a long line of binary code, when translated says David Candland, Bungie's interface designer.
- In the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta when zoomed in using the MJOLNIR's zoom function it reveals the same BIOS for the Mark VI, however this can only be assumed to be merely a placeholder as the MJOLNIR Armor worn in the game is the Mark V.
