Beaglebone Black - Eclipse Remote Debugging, Ubuntu

I recently had to get my remote debugger working for a beaglebone black. Contrary to my post on MacOSX cross compile toolchain - I decided to use Ubuntu.

	#!/bin/bash
	# prereqs for cross compile
	sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
	sudo apt-get install -y libc6-armhf-cross
	sudo apt-get install -y libc6-dev-armhf-cross
	sudo apt-get install -y binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf
	sudo apt-get install -y linux-libc-dev-armhf-cross
	sudo apt-get install -y libstdc++6-armhf-cross
	sudo apt-get install -y gcc-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabihf
	sudo apt-get install -y g++-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabihf
	# setup eclipse
	sudo apt-get install -y eclipse
