    The platform builder debugger is only usable in debugging a loaded/running
    CE image with a kernel debugger module installed. Eboot.exe is not a CE
    image. It gets converted to eboot.bin as an executable binary that runs
    in its own environent much like raw firmware.

    In order to step through code in an eboot binary image you will need
    hardware assisted debugging via a JTAG or BDM port. You can look in the
    Platform builder documentation on what hardware assisted debugging
    involves.
