The GEN 2 BIOS, version 3.43.0.

The MJOLNIR GEN2 BIOS or Basic Input/Output System is a firmware interface for the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2].[1]

DescriptionEdit

This firmware succeeds the Mark VI BIOS for the previous MJOLNIR Mark VI armor.

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 MJOLNIR's 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.
