Describing a development environment.

[gob]

What is the best way to describe a development environment?
Deployment model?

Deployment model?

Hmm, not necessarily, think about cross compiling.
I'd guess what you want is how the deployed component artifacts should be created for a specific deployment model. May be that's kind of extension of a specific deployment model. But I'm not really sure what and how to extend.

What do you want to describe for a development environment?

Take a look at an ebook called Mastering Archimate by Gerben Wierda. It is all about Archimate modeling but he describes how to model what he calls Secondary and Tertiary Architectures.

Secondary Architecture in this book = Development Architecture

It may give you some ideas. (page 84 section 12.3)

Hello,

it's difficult to help you if you only provide references.

Deployment model?

I'd say yes. An environment is best described via deployment.

However, as others suggest, your problem might be a different one. Short question - indifferent answer.

Tank’s you for the input.
I’m developing a product that is a method for prototyping embedded systems.
So the development system is the first layer of the product.
The software will be of product quality but the hardware will be simple.

In that case you should have a look into SysML. There are quite a number of good intros out there which will give you an overview what SysML can do for you. You must not learn all the funky details but there are quite some neat things that allow description of embedded systems.
