The simplest (and workable) solution contains three components: https://cdn.hackaday.io/images//835881528719783422.png On bootup, capacitor is discharged, so the RST is pulled low - but then, it's slowly getting charged through the resistor, so it's slowly being pulled high, and it remains high for until power is removed. The diode is there so that, if the power is removed for a short time, the capacitor is discharged into the power rail - so that the device will be reset after a power glitch / short-term power removal. If your chip(s) don't have hysteresis RST inputs, you might want to put a single-gate non-inverting buffer - or some other gate if you want to use RST signal from other sources at the same time. This solution is what's used on SSD1306 and SH1106 OLED displays that I use, which require RST pin to be brought low for a period of time after power is applied. It's also used for cheap power-on-reset otherwise. Cheers!
