This paper designs an IP intelligent agent development platform based on μC-5471, and analyzes the characteristic of its hardware dual-core (ARM+DSP) architecture for which various peripherals can be configured to realize intelligent product with specific purpose. DSP can be used to realize real-time speech code or complex control algorithm in its high operation speed, and ARM can manage keyboard, monitor and Ethernet peripherals etc. Real time multitask operation system μC/OS-II embedded in CPU can build up an intelligent agent development platform with powerful capability. The digital speech classroom terminal on this platform has been developed. Embedded software design, multimedia, microprocessor and network technology are used in the IP intelligent agent. It also can act as Internet network terminal interface.
