  • what does the datasheet say about allowable voltages on the reset pin? Commented Jun 15, 2023 at 17:25
  • what you are proposing makes no sense ... what advantage do you gain by removing the external reset function? ... you are not using the pin for some other function ... you could bridge two solder pads with a screwdriver if you don't want a physical switch Commented Jun 15, 2023 at 17:32
  • What Atmega are you using exactly? If you really don't want to connect anything for resetting and also not using it otherwisen you can probably leave this pin unconnected, if there is an internal pullup on it. You can check in the controllers datasheet. This is true for the Attiny controllersn so probably also for the Atmegas Commented Jun 15, 2023 at 18:42
  • How do you intend to program the ATmega328P if the reset pin is tied to Vcc ? Commented Jun 15, 2023 at 21:02

    If you are intend to build your own MCU board, you would need to read datasheet. This kind of question can be answered by reading the datasheet, see page 40 of the Reset Logic diagram. Commented Jun 16, 2023 at 0:49
