SRAM Undervolting as an alternative for Checkpoiting in Intermittent Computing

Introduction

Task

Try to use the in-chips SRAM instead of external SRAM for intermitten computing-based nodes. The MCU will not work at such low voltages and requires a reset when enough power is available again. Try to find out, if the reset sequence can be modified, to be able to detect if there is a valid state in the SRAM.
