Easiest way is to use barebox sandbox. It has a SDL fb driver.

Could be that they don't have driver support in barebox.
Check under drivers/fb.

There's a CONFIG_BOARD_ARM_GENERIC_DT option that yields a barebox image
that boots like Linux does and can be passed to qemu's -kernel
option. The commit introducing it has some extra info on how to use
it with QEMU + sabrelite.
