"I think ssterm should work for you. It is written in Python (which is probably bad) but it is console-based, and it does support hexadecimal input and output.

You can launch it like this:

ssterm /dev/ttyAMA0 -b 9600 -i hex -o split

Then it should read hexadecimal characters from stdin, convert each 2 characters to byte and send that byte to the serial.

Also it will read data from the device and show it in hexdump-like way: hex representation to the left and ascii representation to the right."
