How to manually download and update Android?



Hi guys, a few years ago we purchased a box based on Android. It was made user friendly for older people to watch Chinese channels, it's not the famous TVPAD, it's something called an IPLAYER I5. Anyway, I don't think this company is providing anymore updates, and so its a nice paper weight now. However, it is android and it's 4.2.

I plan to use it for Kodi, but I'm just wondering about the future. Kodi now requires at minimum 4.2, which makes us okay. But what if this requirement is changed in the future? Is there a way to make my box current, like Android 5.0 at least?

BTW, who provide updates for a hardware? The hardware maker, or does the system automatically search for an update? I've never been clear about that. But since I did go to the updates to check for updates and it says none is available, then I'm guessing it's the hardware maker?

Thank you for your time!
