I want to build a big LUT in VHDL. What is the best way to build it without sacrifizing the VHDL generality (i.e without using technology specific memory)

regards

As I understand you correct, you want to write VHDL code with a big LUT in it and you don't want to use special code which is only for e.g. @ltera or Xilinx?

Good, all you have to do is to declare a big constant array with all the information you want to have as your LUT. The synthesis tool will recognize your code as a ROM. If the array is very big the data will be stored in the system depending space of your FPGA (Altera -> EAB, Xilinx -> Embedded BlockRAM).
