Serial programing Arduino Pro Mini

Hello everybody!

I have a problem with serial programming the Arduino Pro Mini.
With the arduino software it was possible to flash the board by using one of the available sketches, e.g. Blink.
But what should i do, when i have a .hex file?
Is it possible to flash the hex-file by using the arduino software?
If not, i have to use the dragon board and isp, right?

Many thanks in advance
Chris

Is it possible to flash the hex-file by using the arduino software?

Enable verbose when compiling a sketch. You'll see the commands that are actually used to get the hex file onto the Arduino. There is no reason why you can't open a command window and type the same commands.
