英文摘要：

In the multichannel wide field electromagnetic receiver, the high--performance embedded system is helpful for improving the intelligence and automation controlling level, and this system can meet the demand of the power consumption, signal processing and real --time responding ability when working in resource exploration. This paper introduces the basic principle and designing method of ARM embedded hardware system, choosing the Texas Instrument embedded ARM Cortex--A8 microprocessor AM3517 as the core of hardware based on the analysis of embedded system and microprocessor. Combined with applying needs of wide field electromagnetic method, this paper introduces the core system on AM3517. Using the ORCAD software, this paper analyzes the design process of hard- ware platform in detail. The platform is configured with memory system and peripheral e- quipments, and the hardware principle circuit and PCB board of the whole core system is completed. Based on the hardware platform, the Linux software system is transplanted and the main circuit modules are debugged. Therefore, the ARM system, which is used as the control core, is entirely feasible in the wide field receivers.
