PS4 Wee Tools is a free open-source application written in Python that helps to work with PS4 sflash (NOR) / syscon dumps. (Tested with Python 3.8.)

There is also a PS4 WeeTools PRO version with some extra functions, which is available only for donators/contributors. Please check out their wiki for more information.
