[post_page_title]The Mark I armor ran on Lego firmware[/post_page_title]
Here’s one that’s as inconsequential as it is fascinating. Right at the beginning of Iron Man, Tony and Ho Yinsen collaborate to create the Mark I suit in a cave in Afghanistan. As there’s something of a time crunch involved, considering Ten Rings terrorists are about to swarm their chamber, they have to work fast.
Yinsen’s in charge of booting up the armor, giving us a brief glimpse of some code running on a computer. It’s meaningless for most people, except for the dude who recognized it as code in C, a popular programming language, for uploading firmware to a Lego Mindstorms RCX controller.
