What UBDS tracks for IoT boards

IoT boards share a common shape: a small MCU with one or more radios, a LiPo charger, and a battery-backed RTC. What differs is the radio stack, the toolchain, and how much power the sleep state actually draws. UBDS captures all three so you can pick with confidence.
