Lollipop and cross chipset porting

I am trying to understand more about android to be able to get MIUI running on my bullhead device.

How is google stopping us from running Lollipop on it and can it be bypassed?

Is it possible to port a for example SD 810 rom to our SD 808? I understand it might not be the easiest but I can't find any information at all about cross chipset porting, only for MTK chipsets.

I know that this is probably not any easy task and it would probably just be easier to buy a MI device, but I got nothing to do on my vacation so thought I would try and educate myself some.

[Q&A] M8/S/+ S8xx Chipset Amlogic Based Devices

This is Directly related to the Mseries boxes.
The M8s+ device inperticular but its widely cloned and comes under many names.
MXIII, M8, M8s, M8s Plus etc. The chipset and storage are the important factors here.

Amlogic S8xx series devices, like the S802, S812 etc.

Freaktab.com has the Android Tv box section laid out well compared to Xda.
The Android phone section on XDA is perfect and im hoping we can get the Tv boxes organized and supported more!
