Abstract
This short paper is concerned with the use of patterns to support the development of software for reliable, resource-constrained, embedded systems. The paper introduces one new pattern (Sandwich Delay) and describes one possible implementation of this pattern for use with a popular family of ARM-based microcontrollers.
