+## 7 segment status and error codes
+
+This display next to the mainboard breakout connectors shows an 8-bit hex value indicating
+different stages of the boot process and errors.
+
+Errors are usually "stuck values". A healthy boot sequence has these numbers changing to show
+it progresses through the different stages.
+
+### Healthy boot sequence
+
+The following is "transcribed" from a video recording of a healthy boot sequence (from power on
+to game title screen). All values are 8-bit hex values.
+
+* `FF`: Initial state shown right after power on
+* `81`: ???
+* `84`: ???
+* `85`: ???
+* `86`: ???
+* `87`: ???
+* `88`: ???
+* `08`: ???
+* `11`: ???
+* `0C`: ???
+* `28`: ???
+* `2E`: ???
+* `38`: ???
+* `09`: ???
+* `69`: ???
+* `49`: ???
+* `4A`: ???
+* `59`: ???
+* `52`: ???
+* `60`: Video output over VGA shows the Andamiro logo on white background, the first actual video output
+  visible
+* `98`: ???
+* `6A`: ???
+* `00`: ???
+* `01`: ???
+* `C0`: ???
+* `D2`: ???
+* `00`-`99`/`00`: Progress counting upwards from 0 (`00`) to 100 (`00`)
+* `FF`: ???
+* `88`: ???
+* `FF`: ???
+* `88`: ???
+* `A2`: booted from HDD, starting with Andamiro MKV bootloader stage and also stays when in-game
+
+### Operating system/game booted
+
+Once the display shows `A2`, it's also flickering.
+
+The bottom segment of the first digit as well as the top left and bottom right segments of the
+second digit are used as HDD, CPU and ??? indicators.
+
+### Other codes
+
+* `01`: In BIOS menu
+
+### Errors
+
+#### Stuck at FF right after power on
+
+If the BIOS isn't loading, then it is stuck right after power on.
+
+This might indicate that something is wrong with the power to the mainboard. Ensure you are using
+the power distribution board of the MKV box and not have a ATX power supply connected directly to
+the mainboard. It powers, but doesn't seem to like that and stays stuck here immediately.
+
+#### Stuck at C0
+
+Operating system not found.
+
+This should also be visible on over VGA output with a message stating this on a connected screen.
+
+#### Stuck on B0
+
+CMOS checksum bad.
+
+This should also be visible on over VGA output with a message stating this on a connected screen.
+
+Probably the CMOS battery is empty, swap it, power cycle. Defaults are being loaded automatically.
+
+## Misc
+
+* USB keyboards work, e.g. to get into the BIOS by pressing F2 during boot
