Relationship Between OS , SDK and .NET CF

Hi,
I have a very basic question:
What is a relationship between OS and SDK?
My understanding is that if I want to access the peripherals or ports I make
use of SDK which in turn may use OS.
But how this relationship changes in terms of .NET CF?
.NET framework sits on CLR which inturn is on OS? Now where does the SDK sits?

I have a device which is based on Pocket PC 2002 and has a vendor provided
SDK. Now since Pocket PC 2002 supports .NET CF I want to move to .NET CF. Can
use the current SDK or a new SDK supporting .NET CF would be required.

I think Chris Tacke answered these questions _very_ well in a thread
called "Clarification required for compatibility between OS and .NET
CF" in this newsgroup earlier today.
