Here is barebox-sandbox-sdl howto.

Go to your barebox repo directory and checkout next branch.
Generate .config and enable SDL support:

    $ make mrproper
    $ make defconfig
    $ sed -i "s/# CONFIG_DRIVER_VIDEO_SDL is not set/CONFIG_DRIVER_VIDEO_SDL=y/" .config

Next, compile sandbox barebox and run it:

    $ make
    $ ./barebox

Inside barebox enable fbconsole0 output:

    barebox at barebox sandbox:/ fbconsole0.active=oe
    fb0: framebuffer console 80x30 activated
