How to initialize a sine/cosine lookup table with a couple lines of VHDL.

Papilio user Alex posted this gem in the Papilio Forum. He came across an excellent article over at Jim Wu’s FPGA blog with some super easy ways to initialize memory. Whether you are defining a sin, cosine, sawtooth, or any manner of lookup table its super easy to do it mathematically using this example code. Say goodbye to manually defining the values in a lookup table!
