Thank your so much for your reply, i see the clouds diminishing:)

During my astraying in the Docs, SDB appears frequently~ But i'm still not
sure about its meaning or usage:(
In msdn ,SDB is defined as below

A standard development board (SDB) is a single-board hardware development
system with which you can develop and test your platform using a wide range
of processors and peripherals.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcedsn40/html/cghowhowtodesignstandarddevelopmentboard.asp

Would you please have a look at my situation? Got a ready made image file
nk.bin, a part of the drivers installed. The nk.bin is downloaded by a
previously flashed eboot.bin. And, SDK is provided as well. Nothing left
available then.

Following your suggestion , i should create the BSP for my board in the
origin of Xscale BSP? (My board is PXA255-sitsang board). However i have a
image file running ,and the dll for the primitive drivers could be seen in
the board with explore as well as the register keys. So, is there a way for
me to transplant these dlls as some of the drivers into my platform to save
time?
