Hi,

a couple of years back I got scope gdb working for remote debugging ( ARM from PC host ).

I was going to do a PR but at that time scope was "depricated" because it had not been updated for python3 and there was no maintainer, so there was not much point.

Gladly scope seems to be still going strong which is great, it's an excellent plugin to have.

I can't remember exactly what version this applied to and probably won't get round to applying this to current scope, so I thought I'd throw the code up here in case it is any help.
