Still many issues remain to be clarified before production use. This short contribution clarifies very concisely several issues that arise with EXIT charts and nonuniform binary sources a nonuniform binary source can be the result of a nonbinary source followed by a binary source code . We propose two histogram-based methods to estimate the charts and discuss their equivalence. The first one is a mathematical generalization of the original EXIT charts to nonuniform bits. The second one uses a random bit flipping to make the bits virtually uniform and has two interesting advantages 1 it handles straightforwardly outer codes with an entropy varying with the bit position and 2 it provides a chart for the inner code that is independent of the outer code.
