I'm not sure what you mean by SDB.

A BSP is a Board Support Package, and is specific to a specific board. They
are NOT portable across hardware platforms without modification. BSPs
shipped with Platform Builder are specific to commonly available (sometimes)
reference boards, and can provide a starting point for developing a BSP for
your own hardware. However, you still need to do the work involved in
creating a BSP for your own device.

In any case, you always have to write your own code ( and a lot of it) in
order to get CE running on custom hardware. There is no free lunch with CE.
