In AUTOSAR, CAN Interface (CanIf) distinguishes between BasicCAN and FullCAN handling to activate software acceptance filtering. A CAN mailbox (Hardware Object) for FullCAN operation only allows the transmission or reception of a single CanId. On the other hand, in BasicCAN controller, it maps a range of Tx or Rx Can Message Ids to a single
