Is there anything to do ?
I'm trying to enable ttyS3 and I should do some editing to FEX.
There was some help in:
https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Allwinner/

It is told that sunxi-fexc ver 1.4.1 works. In Ubuntu server there comes ver 1.3.1.
Where to get this ver 1.4.1 ?

bin2fex does not work:
root@orangepilite:/boot# bin2fex script.bin
fexc-bin: script.bin: version: 34704.1.2
fexc-bin: script.bin: size: 34704 (81 sections)
E: fexc-bin: Malformed data: version 34704.1.2.

Your advice works. Still, it installs the packet to the directory, where I'm in. So I made a change to the ln - commands and copied the sunxi-* files to /usr/ bin. This is not an ideal way, but works. I tested it by connecting ttyS3 and ttyS3, opened two ssh connections to the device, installed picocom and opened it in both terminals. Works good

I'm running Ubuntu server in OrangePi Lite, because there is no Jessie for Lite. Of course I have Linux in .my PC too, not anything from M$. Btw: /boot/script.bin is by default linked to /boot/bin/orangepipc.bin not tl /boot/bin/orangepilite.bin
