I  am using Usart with Dma for external communication STM32F407

For transmission we can set the number of bytes to send.But how could I use DMA for receiving, if the number of bytes is not known? I want to get an interrupt if no bytes are further coming so that I could process the received bytes.Can I use USART idle interrupt for this purpose?Why STM32  does not have a FIFO for USART? Thank You  #dma #read-bytes #fifo #usart

That, or use a timer for a timeout.

One presumes to use less transistors.
