2.3.5 Reset

Make sure that reset is kept asserted as the power supplies are ramping. You must not release the processor from reset until all the proper voltage/clocking is in place, as specified by the device-specific data sheet. Conversely, make sure that something on the board is actually RELEASING the device from reset once power and clocks are stable.

A useful tip is to place a 0.1 µF cap near the reset pin to help avoid ESD-induced resets.

Also, having a reset button on your board can be helpful for development.
