I am building imagebuilder from the source and then use it to build images with different package sets and configurations for single hardware TP-LINK Archer AX23 v1.
The imagebuilder build however seems to be building kernel images for all existing hardware for given target and subtarget (ramips/mt7621), which currently counts 275 different devices, while I would only need one tplink_archer-ax23-v1-kernel.bin.
Is there a way to limit the imagebuilder build to only build and pack one kernel for a specified target profile?

If you select only one device profile in menuconfig it builds all images (factory, sysupgrade etc) for that device only.
This is how I have it set in make menuconfig.
Yet the imagebuilder build produces all these images:

risa2000:
imagebuilder build however seems to be building kernel images for all existing hardware for given target and subtarget (ramips/mt7621), which currently counts 275 different devices, while I would only need one tplink_archer-ax23-v1-kernel.bin.
Is there a way to limit the imagebuilder build to only build and pack one kernel for a specified target profile?
I don't think that the imagebuilder Makefile supports building the imagebuilder tool just for one device.
But you could try a sneaky approach of deleting the unnecessary image recipes from the mt7621 image.mk file. (target/linux/ramips/image/mt7621.mk in your buildroot. It is just an editable text file...)
Just leave the first 250 lines of generic functions and the desired target device definition at lines 2729-2739, but remove all other device specifications.
That make the buildroot hopefully to create the initial kernel images just for your device.

Thanks for the tip! It seems it may be sufficient to filter or otherwise limit the list which is accumulated in TARGET_DEVICES variable. I will try to look into it more. Having a possibility to filter only particular devices in the imagebuilder build could be useful.

Yes, that would be even more simple.

Tips：I recommend that you first read the article mentioned above, use "make info" to find your device's profile name, and then run the command: "make image PROFILE="tplink_archer-ax23-v1" to generate the image
It seems you are telling me how to build an image with an imagebuilder. This I know (and am already doing as per my first post). The "problem" I was pointing out was related to building the imagebuilder itself and limiting its reach to only one (or few) particular target profiles.
I believe @hnyman already pointed me to the right direction.
If you mark @hnyman 's reply as solution, it would be more evident.

I have not marked the @hnyman reply as a solution, because I have not had yet time to verify it. This was the reason why I wrote "pointed me in the right direction".

Finally got to testing the suggestions given here. This is a minimalist hack to force only one image for tplink_archer-ax23-v1 being built.

The food for thoughts is to figure out, if it could be parametrized for the imagebuilder build. The time saving is significant.
