I haven't tested MT8183 (I don't actually have any 8183 machine in my hands)... but
yes, I can share my test environment.

I have one MicroSD that I use either in the MicroSD slot of the target machine, or
in a USB reader; this *single* system is what I boot on *all* Chromebooks that I
have: one kernel, multiple devicetrees, same Debian-based userspace.

What we have to prepare this bootable media can be found at [1], but beware that
it currently uses an outdated kernel, so, what I have locally is a symlink to my
kernel tree.
You can change/add/remove the devicetree blobs that will get added to the image
by modifying `chromebook-setup.sh`; before tampering with kernel tree symlink,
please run that script for the first time, as it will download a cross-compiler,
a kernel tree (that you will replace for sure) and the (very old) Debian rootfs
that you can update with `apt-get dist-upgrade` after booting the Chromebook.

If you want to check about possible kernel configuration differences, what I use
is at [2], so that you can compare.
