The Mark V BIOS is firmware, designed to be the first code run by the MJOLNIR Mark V 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 Mark V BIOS is firmware, designed to be the first code run by the MJOLNIR Mark V armor when activated.
