That is correct, we receive only pre-programmed CAN ids and "all" or "range" 
implementation is not there in the PRU firmware.
Will check the sysfs option and update.

Hello,

I had a discussion regarding this with Wolfgang:

http://www.mail-archive.com/socketcan-users@lists.berlios.de/msg00324.html

The problem here is that we must configure the mailbox ID's and this
support is not available in the socketCan sub-system.
To understand you correctly. A mailbox (or message object) can *only*
receive messages with the pre-programmed CAN id? Isn't there a chance to
receive all or a range of CAN ids? That's a very unusual piece of
hardware. Anyway, using kernel configuration parameters to define the
CAN id's would be the less flexible method. The user will not have a
chance to change them at run-time. Using SysFS files would already be
much better.

Wolfgang.
