If you want to known the drive name in the /dev/ folder, I normally
- disconnect USB
- in a terminal, type
dmesg -w
- insert USB
And the kernel will show some messages including the name of your device.
Other options are
lsblk
sudo blkid
sudo fdisk -l
And you may want to check this to mount it.

Microcontrollers and FPGA don't mount like USB flash drives, so the last line is sort of irrelevant to the question, but the answer overall is proper, hence +1
