Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm working on a piece of software that will eventually run on a Raspberry Pi (ideally using the
SocketCANinterface), but I would like to easily test on my local computer. I have several microcontrollers, but no way to connect the CAN bus to my computer. With the CAN serial interface, I can program the microcontrollers to act as an gateway for my computer, but the serial interface doesn't support 11-bit CAN IDs. Since my project uses 11-bit CAN IDs, I'm looking to add this support.Describe the solution you'd like
I added support for 11-bit CAN IDs by placing them at the end of the
arbitration_idspace for 29-bit IDs, and using the 30th bit to enable 11-bit IDs. I thought it might be useful to others, so I tested and documented the change.Describe alternatives you've considered
I have considered making a new interface that adds more features to serial. I have also considered using the SLCAN interface, but it's honestly easier to make this change than it is to implement full SLCAN compatibility.
Additional context
I am new to this project, and I'm not sure if this is a feature that is really wanted in the upstream. If it is, feel free to make edits to this PR.
