See the other reply talking about the specific reason 14.04 fails.

Again, see the other reply - I got an impression by the last paragraph above 
that the requirement was to pull in some recent fixes for binutils. That won't 
be done in AMSDK 7.0, as it's already released and closed.

Just a reminder - this is the Arago development mailing list, not AMSDK 
support mailing list. I don't mind these questions, but the assumption would 
always be that people want the latest stuff, since it's a community facing 
list.

It's a point of view - Daisy is already a stable release of the Yocto Project. 
Arago currently is based on Daisy, but it hasn't been relesed yet.
