"Phoenix Technologies views the Intel® BLDK as an integral part
of a design environment and is pleased to support it as an
extension of our service scope that leverages our core
competencies."
Intel BLDK is based on EDK2, which provides a smaller build and
version tracking environment for UEFI and PI development. The Intel
BLDK assists the developer in the loading process of drivers,
development tools, support utilities, and pre-boot applications
(PBA). By supporting the Intel BLDK, Phoenix Technologies is in the
position of providing excellent customer support in this area of
development. Phoenix has
structured SCT to adapt in line with the UDK2010 transition by
remaining in sync with silicon vendors; thus ensuring that
Phoenix will be ready to serve
OEM/ODMS when EDK2 is ready to launch.
"Intel recognizes that not all of our embedded customers will
want to establish their own boot loader development personnel and
capabilities," said Jonathan Luse,
director of marketing for the Intel Low Power Embedded Products
Division. "Intel has long worked with established BIOS vendors,
like Phoenix Technologies, to provide BIOS solutions to embedded
customers for their Intel® architecture based platforms, and we
know that Phoenix has the
technical experience and capabilities to help Intel establish a
solid third-party ecosystem for products and services based on the
Intel® BLDK."
Phoenix's booth will be located
at GE21, China National Convention Center 4th floor. Please visit
us to experience the latest technology breakthroughs in SecureCore
Tiano. Phoenix will also provide
live touchcreen, Intel BLDK boot up, and In-ROM Diagnostic
demonstrations.
