Serial Console

No way to send EOL characters, CR & LF

Can't seem to send CR and/or LF, escape characters \r & \n don't work.
\r\n is sent as four characters, backslash,r, backslash,n (0x5C, 0x72, 0x5C, 0x6E) rather than the escape characters (0x0D, 0x0A).
The product I am working with (and many others) requires EOL termination to process the serial commands.
