Reference for Beginners?

I am having trouble understanding the the IO commands. Is there a good reference that would explain the coding of IO

Patrick,

The GPIO is described in the System Control and Interrupts guide of your particular device.   (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/System_Control_and_Interrupts_Reference_Guides_for_C28x).  In particular there is a module overview section that gives a step-by-step configuration of the GPIO.

For 2833x this is section 6.2, 6.3 and of TMS320x2833x System Control and Interrupts Reference Guide (SPRUFB0).

Multiplexing is discussed in section 6.5.

in general, coding specific to the micro-controller in a very basic way for a beginner?

Sounds like you already have some examples -they should include documentation (check the doc folder).

These are also useful:

• Getting Started With TMS320C28x Digital Signal Controllers (spraam0)
• Programming TMS320x28xx and 28xxx Peripherals in C/C++ (spraa85)

And as a general resource, the C2000 Wiki:

Hope these help :) and happy coding!
