What is a 'desing problem'?

Which R8C variant do you use?
Some (like /12) don't provide internal reset at all. Some may use reset 
ONLY if supplied from 5V. Only the new ones from /2x family provide 
internal reset at lower suply voltages and only if the rising time 
condition is met.

Perhaps you need an RC on reset pin.
Add a 1uf cap from RESET to GND and see if that helps.

Hi The damn thing giving me the same problem.
there is a pull up resistor 5k from reset pin to vcc. vcc 5v
manual grounding of reset is not working , power on reset not working
some times it resets but rarely.
is there a desing problem in the renesas ?

Maybe the problem is not with the Reset pull-up, but with Vcc ramping up
too slow.  10uF is not extremely large, but if power leads are long the
LC combination may make Vcc ramp up too slow when you apply power.  I've
had problems with this when tinkering around and using long, skinny clip
leads to connect power.  Also perhaps not enough capacitance on external
osc to start reliably.

Problem is values of resistor and capacitor on the reset circuit. 22K
and 100nF are true values

there is a capacitor between reset pin and gnd, also there are 10uF and
some 100nF between Vcc and GND. all component power line is same.
Xout pin -one pin of oscillator- connected to CPLD.

What a stupid problem.

Thanks

At least in R8C/1x series the external osc is not supposed to start when 
you reset the CPU. It must be started by firmware.
Also, the built-in reset circuit in R8C/11 and /13 is designed to 
operate at +5V - check is parameters in the data sheet. For 3V operation 
an external RC circuit is needed.

What no cap?

Put a cap between pull up and ground.

Are all parts (pull-up, cpu and external oscillator) on the SAME power
rail.

Hi,
I have used LM1086-3.3 lowdrop regulator and R8C cpu. Reset circuit is
only pull-up.
CPU doesn't start up right. External oscillator doesn't run when I turn
on  power. If I reset the CPU externaly everthing is OK.
Can you recommend something?
