# Gradle platform architecture

Gradle is arranged into coarse-grained components called "architecture modules" and "platforms".
See [ADR4](standards/0004-use-a-platform-architecture.md) for a definition of these terms.

The diagram below shows the current set of architecture modules and platforms:

    byte maxSetupCount;
    int timeout = 0;
    int setupCount = 1;
    byte subCommand;
    String name = "";
    int maxBufferSize; // set in SmbTransport.sendTransaction() before nextElement called

    byte[] txn_buf;

    SmbComTransaction() {
        maxParameterCount = 1024;
        primarySetupOffset = PRIMARY_SETUP_OFFSET;
        secondaryParameterOffset = SECONDARY_PARAMETER_OFFSET;
