Overview
Sequoyah project's purpose is to be focused on the needs of all mobile developers.
Inheriting components from TmL, MTJ and Pulsar projects, Sequoyah intends to remove the artificial barriers of Linux and Java in order to provide a home for all Eclipse mobile developers.

Components
Sequoyah currently contains the following components:
Device Framework
Responsible for providing an extensible platform to support mobile devices and their aggregate services.
VNC Protocol
A scratch implementation of RFB protocol to support visualize the frame buffer content. It can also promote the protocol communication interface between device and Sequoyah device framework.
VNC Viewer
Contains the libraries and plugins responsible for provide VNC connectivity.
Localization
Responsible for providing extensible support for any mobile application to be adapted for a specific region or language by adding locale-specific components and translating text.
Sequoyah now intends to deal with other localizable resources besides strings. In this document we have a proposal of such effort, where we list some user stories describing how we intend to extend the current framework to deal with images, sounds and video in a first moment.
SDK Discovery
Used in the QuickInstall view in Pulsar. This view enables you to easily manage provider Software Development Kits (SDKs) from within Eclipse Pulsar.
Automation Test Framework
The objective of Automation Test Framework is to allow the creation of automated test cases in an easy way. The user will be able to specify test requirements, purposes, steps and assertions written in an procedural language.
Check Automation Test Framework documentation for more information.
Sequoyah is currently integrating MTJ and Pulsar components, such as: branding, perspective, signing, SDK discovery and permissions scanner.
There is interest in the project from Motorola and RIM, among others.
