To build a driver in PB, you have to include it into an OS Design. However,
it doesn't mean that you need to use this OS design : you can completely
create a dummy OS design to build your driver, based on an existing BSP, and
run your driver on an existing CE device with its own CE image already
available on it, as long as you use the same processor type for building
(condition the BSP choice) than the one used in the product.
To perform debugging, it'll be a bit more tricky, as you will need a kitl
session activated so that communication can be done between target and PB.
If the CE image on the product supports KITL dynamic starting, you might get
it this way.
Another alternative would be to debug using only log message on serial debug
link, if available on the device.
5.0 to 4.2 compatibility is a case per case checking. For most of the case
it should be ok, but it is not completely sure, depending on APIs used
