I implemented a sine-wave generator using a DSP56001 using the following
algorithm:

x(t) = x(t - Ts) * exp (j * w * Ts)

where x(t) is a complex value, Ts ist the sampling interval, w ist the
desired frequency in radians/s.
The algorithm has some constraints regarding the amplitude accuracy:
using 24 bit arithmetic, the amplitude changes in a way that it is just
visible on an analogue level meter. Doing the calculation with double
precision (48 bit) should obtain a stable amplitude for a very long time.
using 32 bit on another DSP should be adequate to guarantee an implitude
accuracy of fractions of a percent over several minutes.
