Dear jizecn,
You do not need to use ERIKA and RT-Druid to program the dsPIC. Microchip offers a lot of tools, notably the MPLAB IDE and the ICD2 debugger to program the board.
Programming using USB is not available yet, but it will be probably available soon (but I cannot disclose the date yet). You can use the Microchip ICD2 to program the board.
ERIKA and RT-Druid can be useful whenever you want to have some pre-built examples that covers most of the devices of the board... that usually speeds up development a lot!
