What are the possibilities t reduce the current cosumption at the beginning. Can you give me some information about basic mechanisms to throttle the required power especially in the boot process. Is there a documentation available regarding to this topic?
Thank you very much for your reply.
Best regards,

What is the problem during your programm setup? High current or energy (current * time for setup) ? In the first case, switch to a lower frequency early in the setup. This will run longer, but with less current.

Identify where the peak consumption is occuring, ie have waypoints where you signal via GPIOs and plot that against the current consumption, that way you'll have a profile from which areas to focus on.
Initial clock sources
Starting different clock sources
Waiting for sources and PLLs to lock
Initializing, clearing and copying statics

This is a relative statement.
How high is the current/power consumption, and what do you expect to see ?
Have you checked the datasheet ?
It specifies average currents for many operation modes, clock frequencies and environment temperatures.
