I build .hex

I need a program to make [.hex

How are you creating your .hex
files? Where are they coming from? Are you cross compiling the .hex
files on some other machine and then transferring them to the Linux box? What is your Arduino connected to, the Linux box, or some other machine? Why are you even bothering with the .hex files? Your question is a little unclear. As Mikael states in his comment, you do not need to compile the .hex
files, they are already compiled, you merely need to upload them, which the Arduino IDE would do for you anyway...
As ARK points out in his answer, you may find the answers to the question Where are the hex files compiled by Arduino? useful, although it seems like you know where they are but you don't know how to upload them.
Why can you not just use the Arduino IDE, to write your sketch, and then allow it to automatically compile the sketch and upload the .hex
file for you? That way you do not need to manually play with the .hex
file. Maybe I am missing something.
Is the Arduino IDE bombing out and not uploading the sketch on to the Arduino board?
However, if you are merely asking, how can I upload a .hex
file to an Arduino, in Linux without using the Arduino IDE, then you would use avrdude
. Taking the answer from How do I upload a hex file firmware to a target board without using the arduino IDE?
avrdude -C/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf -v -v -v -v -patmega328p -carduino -P/dev/ttyUSB0 -b57600 -D -Uflash:w:/tmp/build8135728863211847829.tmp/sketch_may21b.cpp.hex:i
or alternatively, taking the answer from Uploading Arduino hex file using avrdude
avrdude -U flash:w:[put-hex-file-path-here]:i -C avrdude.conf -v -p atmega328 -b 115200 -c stk500v2 -P [put-device-path-here]
You can download the Arduino IDE for Linux from the Arduino site.
As mentioned in Where are the hex files compiled by Arduino?, in the Arduino program: go to Arduino -> Preferences and then select Show verbose output during -> compilation.
Finally, when you are compiling, the program will show you lots of data. At the last lines, you will find the path to the .hex file (Every time the path changes!).
If you want to upload this .hex
file to your ATmega328P (the micro controller inside Arduino Uno), avrdude
can do that for you.

.hex
files on Linux? Or how to upload.hex
files on Linux? Please clarify your question, because as it stands it is rather unclear and is likely to be closed. – Greenonline Apr 17 '16 at 11:39Necessito de um programa para fazer.
should be translated asI need a program to make [.hex files]
, rather thanI need to make a program
.This may be the reason why the question seems a little unclear... :-) – Greenonline Apr 18 '16 at 11:11
