The flash RAM (the internal store) is physically at 0x02000000 until
0x02400000. You'll get the translation to virtual address by using
Hammer's tool to dump the MMU tables.
However, I'm not sure you can read it by just peeking there. The
flash driver has a method to prepare it to start reading. It would be
a very dirty hack to do this, but it's doable. I'll probably write
something like this next week.

You can also modify DRAM by viewing memory.
DRAM is physically at 0x04000000 and at plenty of places virtually
(for example 0x0C, 0x6x, 0xFx, etc.)
