You could presumably make a ''noinit'' section within the scatter file, and place specific variables into that?
You could perhaps have that area be the NVRAM memory? Or a separate area of SRAM.
You could also group all of the state you want to hold across reset into a singular structure, and place that structure, or a pointer for it, in the NVRAM/NOINIT, and tag it in a way you can tell if it is valid or not.
The code in __main, which is called before your main() function deals with the initialization of statics, either by copying or zeroing.
