YOCTO #1419: General edits and fix for oprofile-server rev requirements.
I performed general edits to this chapter as well as addressed the two items for the YOCTO #1419, which was re-opened. These included specifying oprofile version 0.9.4 required and the note that oprofile-server is only installed by default in the core-image-sato-sdk image.

Once you pick a tool, you need to configure it for the remote target.
Every tool needs to have the connection configured.
You must select an existing TCF-based RSE connection to the remote target.
If one does not exist, click <filename>New</filename> to create one.

Here are some specifics about the remote tools:

<listitem><para><emphasis><filename>OProfile</filename>:</emphasis> Selecting this tool causes
- the <filename>oprofile-server</filename> on the remote target to launch on

- The <filename>oprofile-viewer</filename> must be installed on the local host machine and the

- respectively, in order to use.
- You must compile and install the <filename>oprofile-viewer</filename> from the source code
- on your local host machine.
- Furthermore, in order to convert the target's sample format data into a form that the
- host can use, you must have <filename>oprofile-viewer</filename> version 0.9.4 or

- The <filename>oprofile-server</filename> is installed by default in the image.</para>
