The Mark VI BIOS, version S43.3945782.01.

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.

Notes

  1. ^ The zoom of this Heads-up display shows the BIOS to be at "BIOS: 3.43" the version used by GEN2. This shouldnt be possible since John-117 hasnt been in contact with the UNSC since 2552.
