how to find SSD attached to USB-C port?

I was happy to find the Orange pi 4 armbian; it ignores raspbian an ubuntu images on sd and boots into android from its EMMC instead.

 

The pi is an orange 4 LTS with 3gb RAM and 16gb EMMC.

 

I have a 2tb crucial SSD attached through the usbc port.

 

It is powered by a 4A supply through the DC port.

 

it's purpose is to be a dedicated mythtv back end; it is wired by ethernet but also has wifi active.

 

armbian-hardware-monitor.log is at https://paste.armbian.com/axayequliz 

 

it isn't showing up as a disk, as near as I can tell:

mythbackend:~:% ls /dev/disk/by-id   

mmc-AJTD4R_0x81704fbd  mmc-SC16G_0x9345afab  mmc-SC16G_0x9345afab-part1

 

 

 

the first is the EMMC, I believe, and the second my sandisk card.

 

I haven't used linux since the late 90s when I switched to FreeBSD, and so much has changed . . .

The answer seems to be that the usbc connector either isn't really usbc, or that it won't supply power to a connected device.

.

I connected it to the type A usbc, and it was instantly found and appeared as /dev/sda
