A problem occurred during the update. This is usually some sort of 
network problem, please check your network connection and retry.

Hitting http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/trusty/ in the browser I can see that armel is indeed missing. So I'm wondering how I can upgrade from 12.04.4 to 14.04 on that board.

It seems Ubuntu has dropped support for armel after 12.04

You could try switch to armhf
