Mark VI BIOS
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
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. The Mark VI's current BIOS version is S43.3945782.01.[2]
This firmware succeeds the Mark V BIOS for the previous MJOLNIR Mark V armor.
Trivia
- In the Halo 3 Beta to the right of the Mark VI BIOS was a long line of binary code. The code translates to David Candland, Bungie's interface designer.
- In the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, the Mark VI BIOS is used as a placeholder for the Mark V BIOS.
