The MJOLNIR GEN2 BIOS or Basic Input/Output System is a firmware interface for the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2].[1]
Description
The GEN2 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. Unlike in previous MJOLNIR variants, the BIOS version can be viewed on the standard HUD. The GEN2's current BIOS version is 3.43.0.
Trivia
The GEN2's BIOS version number, 3.43.0, is a reference to Halo 4's developer, 343 Industries.
