This is a function to directly convert hexadecimal containing char array to an integer which needs no extra library:

int hexadecimal2int(char *hdec) {
    int finalval = 0;
    while (*hdec) {
        
        int onebyte = *hdec++; 
        
        if (onebyte >= '0' && onebyte <= '9'){onebyte = onebyte - '0';}
        else if (onebyte >= 'a' && onebyte <='f') {onebyte = onebyte - 'a' + 10;}
        else if (onebyte >= 'A' && onebyte <='F') {onebyte = onebyte - 'A' + 10;}  
        
        finalval = (finalval << 4) | (onebyte & 0xF);
    }
    finalval = finalval - 524288;
    return finalval;
}
