I am new to Electronics and PCB and Arduino IDE stuff.
I have a "Switch Science ISP1807 breakout" which can be found at the link below.
Instead of using the development board which Switch Science company provide. Is it possible to make my own development board (PCB) for ISP1807 chip, and control ISP1807 chip using Arduino IDE ?

Here is my another question.
When I connect a breakout board to my computer for Arduino development using a USB Micro-B cable, is there any specific processing required between the USB and the IC ISP1807 to let the Arduino IDE to control the IC ISP1807? Or is it simply a matter of connecting the pins from one to the other?
The reason I am asking this question is that I want to know if, after connecting the IC ISP1807 to my self-designed board, can I directly use the Arduino IDE for development without any additional processing.if so, does it have anything to do with bootloader?
From the breakout board (Switch Science ISP1807ピッチ変換基板 — スイッチサイエンス), it said “ISP1807 has already written the bootloader. You can develop programs using the Arduino IDE.” Does it mean that the sole ISP1807 is already able to build firmware with Arduino? We don’t need any extra hardware or special connection between the USB and the chip?
Your best option is to look at a PCB program called "Kicad". Its free and works very well. However as intuitive as it is, you will have another learning curve to be able to make a usable PCB design.
Yes. It looks like Switch Science provides an Arduino "core", so "control using Arduino" should be pretty easy (you can use Arduino with your current breakout board as well.)

PCB design is not usually considered a "beginner" activity. The ISP1807 is a high-density module that would probably require several "advanced" techniques, and be difficult even for a relatively experienced designer.
