What happens to the contents of the RAM after a watchdog triggers a PUC reset? Are the RAM contents re-initialized or are they left unchanged?
the hardware itself does nothing with the RAM on a PUC or other reset. but the startup code linked by gcc does initialize the RAM: it copies the init values to the .data section and zeros the .bss section.
if you want to have a variable that survives a reset, put it in the .noinit section. that one is not touched by the C startup code.
