Phoenix WorkBench

Phoenix WorkBench™ (PWB)

Collaborative development and lifecycle management for UEFI firmware and plug-ins

At Phoenix Technologies®, we understand time-to-market pressure for OEMs and ODMs. We understand the complexity of system firmware design and deployment. We also understand the need to maximize productivity and successfully execute multiple proj-ects with limited resources.

Phoenix WorkBench (PWB) is a comprehensive set of tools and online services to take the complexity out of UEFI firmware devel-opment. Phoenix WorkBench provides a collaborative development environment and end-to-end project lifecycle management for our flagship SecureCore Tiano™ 2.x BIOS products.

Comprehensive toolkit from design to production

Phoenix WorkBench significantly increases productivity for the OEM and ODM platform engineering teams by accelerating platform bring-up, system debugging, feature customization, and developing system enhancements.

PWB is tailored to meet the needs of BIOS development engineers, QA engineers and platform project managers. PWB includes all the tools required to develop, build, flash, debug, and manage UEFI projects, as well as license commercial off-the-shelf UEFI plug-ins.

PWB seamlessly integrates with the Microsoft Visual Studio® development environ-ment, combining functionalities from diverse point tools into a unified graphical view. PWB also supports the latest compilers.

As the PC industry incorporates new technologies into standard x86 platforms, the UEFI development environment within the PWB allows device designers to integrate these innovations quickly and seamlessly by leveraging the built-in modularity offered by the SecureCore Tiano™ 2.x BIOS architecture.

Firmware lifecycle management

The lifecycle management capabilities in Phoenix WorkBench (PWB) improve operational flexibility and efficiency by providing an interactive process for our customers and partners to man-age BIOS projects and deliver high quality products on time.

Phoenix has developed the cloud-based infrastructure required for comprehensive project management, including features like online dashboards, Gantt charts, schedulers, and time track-ing to maximize productivity and reduce costs for our OEM and ODM customers. Integrated issue tracking in PWB makes it easy to share knowledge, manage escalations and reach rapid resolu-tions.

Phoenix WorkBench allows firmware developers and project teams to leverage the exhaustive knowledge base that Phoenix has built through 30 years of leadership in the BIOS industry. Platform team leads, R&D managers and business unit execu-tives can now benefit from the improved visibility into the firm-ware development processes with the ability to identify bottle-necks and track critical tasks during BIOS integration.

With the advent of the instant-on and always-connected com-puter, boot speed is a critical feature and an important differ-entiator for OEMs and ODMs. The boot speed analyzer in PWB empowers BIOS engineers with the tools required to understand the boot time implications resulting from their design decision, resulting in optimal designs for fast boot.

PWB is built on the principles of software as a service. The communication tools, RSS feeds, and email notifications built into PWB help facilitate timely and seamless com-munication between project teams.

PWB integrates with Subversion® with secure authentication. The online source reposi-tory in PWB enables product updates, UEFI plug-in updates and access to small silicon modules. PWB also provides early visibility into roadmaps from silicon vendors.

The talented and experienced UEFI firmware engineering team at Phoenix heavily lever-ages the Phoenix WorkBench for all aspects of product development, project manage-ment, quality control, knowledge sharing and collaboration. OEMs, ODMs, partners and distributors can now enjoy closer interaction with Phoenix engineers, with early access to products and better visibility into Phoenix processes.
