About FEX files

The .FEX file format primarily serves two distinct technical functions: as a system configuration script for Allwinner Technology System-on-Chips (SoCs), or as an executable report procedure (FOCEXEC) for the enterprise reporting suite Information Builders WebFOCUS. Allwinner firmware files define hardware parameters (like memory and bootloader settings) before booting Android. They are compiled into binary files using the fex2bin tool from linux-sunxi. WebFOCUS files, on the other hand, contain proprietary scripts designed to query large databases and generate corporate reports. Both formats present significant challenges for average users. Allwinner .FEX files are hardware-specific texts useless outside of SoC flashing environments, while WebFOCUS .FEX files require a costly enterprise software subscription to execute. Neither is a user-friendly media document. For Allwinner scripts, developers typically compile the .FEX text to a BIN file. For WebFOCUS, the script itself cannot be converted directly; it must be executed within its native environment to export the resulting data as a PDF, XLSX, or HTML file. This file format is difficult to open or convert with generic online tools because it relies entirely on proprietary enterprise ecosystems or niche hardware compilers. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your FEX file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted PARAM, NIP and CCF files.

The FEX Converter Story

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our FEX converter.
