Need help with Pulsar on Microzed! Is it still supported?

I noticed that the discussions concerning Pulsar Linux on Microzed are slowly disappearing, even a field engineer from Avnet told me he's never heard about it. So, the big question is does it still make sense to spend time trying to set it up or it is better to use Petalinux?

In particular I tried to follow "MicroZed IIoT Starter Kit: Pulsar Linux Design Tutorial" but "bitbake cube-server..." step fails because the file python-webob_1.4.1.bb cannot be downloaded due to an error in the recipes (it looks like the address shows http:// instead of https://). All I was able to find an unanswered post about the problem dated last year

I have the same question as above. I was planning to use pulsar on an embedded project running on an Zinq Avnet board.
I was able to get the kernel built and the cross-compiling toolset set up, but then found that the support sites at Windriver now require a license and that it appeared that the support for the pulsar and/or windriver linux seems to be drying up at Avnet.

So does it still make sense to use pulsar on a microzed/picozed ?

Hi,
At this time we are only able to support petalinux. If you wish to continue to use Pulsar Linux, our support will be limited.
