title: Remote debugging Beaglebone from a 64 bit machine
body: <p>I am running Xubuntu on a 64 bit machine. When trying to debug a Beaglebone using gdb (via Eclipse) I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <p>"Remote 'g' packet reply is too long" </p>
  
  <p>See here for more details:</p>

  <p>At the host I am using gdb-multiarch.
  When start it, it announces:
  "This GDB was configured as "x86_64-linux-gnu"."</p>
  
  <p>Can you please tell me how to configure GDB to work with a 32 bit target? Any other thoughts?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
