That's CLI not a bios. Also, most bios have GUI's now too, although I'm not as familiar with embedded systems.

I have never worked on an embedded platform with a BIOS. I'm sure some bastardized contraption with one exists, and may even have been commonplace in the 80s or 90s, but the vast majority of embedded stuff out there since I started my career does not possess such a thing.

If you want to be hyperpedantic most systems these days don't have a bios, they have an UEFI that usually has an option to act like a bios for compatibility reasons

you'd need special translucent paper and a printer that can do them.
Truthfully this is one of those things where adding electronics is trivial.
That slushy machine is going to cost north of $5000, assuming you can buy them and the company just doesn't lease it.

$20 of electronics to save some physical upkeep with labels is worth it.

I was on a plane once that had a USB port on the seats so you could plug in a flash drive with music on it and listen to it through the infotainment system. I had a flash drive that was both a bootable Linux environment and had a bunch of mp3s on it, so I plugged it in when I sat down. When they started the plane, the infotainment system booted from my fucking flash drive and popped up my Linux install on every screen in the plane. I ripped the flash drive out and it crashed and they delayed the flight for an hour while it was being looked into.

Wait so there's one Linux system running per flavor?
>>106293850
To be fair, those errors clearly suggest the hard drive has failed.

Probably not. It probably display the systemd logs if something goes wrong on TTY7 (or TTY1 if the screens are rigged up in reverse order) and they use the framebuffer directly like that on the TTYs so they don't have the overhead of Xorg or Wayland.

Well why didn't they just use raid so it doesn't go down when a drive dies

Excuses, it wouldn't be that much more expensive to have 2 of whatever tiny drive they are using. Greedfags gonna greed tho, in my country the isp datacenters didn't even have generators behind their ups'es set to activate when power was lost

That's systemd on linux.
Systemd can also have a "GUI", if you can call it that. That would be the OS bootscreen, just showing the logo and a progress bar.

I assure you it's not cost engineered.
You're either getting a regular system with some motherboard from a brand you heard of, or some uber expensive industrial machine.

People who engineer appliance devices often aren't huge system architects, I'm surprised they are using Linux at all. They aren't expecting anything to fail with any regularity so no reason to engineer redundancy, they aren't even really focused on the actual system itself and likely buying something off the shelf.
It's more ignorance than straight malice.

I stand corrected. It does look like an init process. How can you tell it's systemd without being able to read any of it?

It does that on a lot of kernel and init loading processes too, no? Probabilistically, you're likely correct because of the usage rate of SystemD.

It's blurry but you can read the top text says something about systemd-journald. Which is systemd only.
Looks like a ext4-fs error. Which means either probably corrupted fs (probably because a fountain machine isn't being shut down properly, just randomly unplugged) or the drive is failing.

Why would they put linux there, smaller MCU would suffice?
