本文提出一套結合Linux與Intel StrongARM之嵌入式動物行為分析平台，主要目的是希望藉由Intel StrongARM處理器的高運算功能及強大的周邊支援，結合Embedded Linux此一高穩定性的作業系統，並加上完整的GUI介面設計，發展出一操作簡單、體積小、穩定的動物行為量測分析平台。本系統目前已能透過Serial Port接收動物行為實驗數據，並可直接在系統上進行參數之分析，另外，加上網路傳輸功能，可將實驗數據及分析結果傳送到個人電腦，不但可將實驗結果作分享，也可進一步的對實驗數據作一更深入的分析。而其體積小的特性，也可提供未來在特殊動物實驗環境中架設分析系統的另一種選擇。

　　This paper presents a Linux and Intel StrongARM Based Analysis Platform for Animal Behaviors. The main purpose is to combine features of Intel StrongARM processor and Embedded Linux with integrated GUI interface design to develop an easy-to-use, small and steady animal behavior analysis platform. Intel Strong ARM features include high operational speed and large numbers of I/O supporting for peripherals. Embedded Linux has high stability feature to be an operation system of a platform. This system can already receive animal's behavior experimental data through Serial Port, and it can complete the experimental data analysis in the same system. This system can be equipped with network interface to transfer the experimental data and the analysis result to a PC on Internet. This makes the sharing of experimental data and the analysis result to be possible and other researchers can do an advanced analysis for the experimental data. The feature of small size offer another choice to build a measuring system in the special animal's experiment environment in the future.
