I think it should be OK to add CDL options to include more non-printable chars in the allowed ones for diag_printf for those that feel OK with them. I just patched it when I needed some formatted output for VT100 terminals, even added some delay function of the character to make the real thing work with RedBoot.
I just didn’t send a patch fearful of Gary Thomas unleashing the dogs on me for daring to relax the fail safe measures of diag_printf ☺ I could look for some of that stuff and send you a patch if you like.
