What is a .hex file? Might be an Intel HEX (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_HEX) but could a be a multitude of other things.

You can slurp the whole file into memory using just QFile and QByteArray. Not sure where the 8-bytes at a time thing is coming from, but you could do that with these classes too.

If it is actual an Intel HEX file then you could read the lines using QTextStream and pull them apart with the methods in QString. Alternatively, stay at a lower level and use QByteArray and its fromHex() method.
