For the specialized hardware, you can find what you seek in the RoboIO source code. In short, you have to use primarily the south bridge (don't think the north bridge is used at all, but there are some functions in code to write to it) on the board to access the specialized IO, and then some more effort to talk to the ADC. You have to define the base addresses for certain functions by accessing the south bridge. The custom hardware isn't mapped like, say, a serial or parallel port.
