The assignment of device names is architecture-specific. On a x86 based Linux 
host, the SD flash will be identified as /dev/sdX, where X is some letter, 
probably low in the alphabet. On the TS-Arm architecture, SD devices are 
identified as /dev/tssdcarda. The 'a' suffix is because the SD flash is always 
the first device mapped. Numeric suffixes denote the partition numbers, just 
like they do on other architectures. The 5th partition on your SD flash should 
therefore be seen as /dev/tssdcarda5 on your TS-Arm host.
