Phoenix Core Managed Environment: Understanding FirstWare

Overview Phoenix Technologies’ FirstWare environment is best described as a “bomb shelter” within the PC. The environment protects important data from disaster and provides a tamper-proof environment for applications that are always available, even when the primary operating system is damaged or missing. This paper describes the basics of FirstWare and explains how to enable the FirstWare Space, which is Phoenix’s cME (Core Managed Environment) enabled host protected area. This paper specifies hard disk requirements, as well as FirstBIOS and FirstDisk requirements to protect and access the FirstWare Space. Finally, it provides information on each of Phoenix Technologies’ FirstWare applications, which reside in the FirstWare Space.
