How can I get the /dev/ location of a USB device?

Question

I want to get the location in /dev of a USB device connected to my machine.

Does anyone know how?

What exactly do you mean by dev location, what is the purpose? — Jacob Vlijm, Mar 18 '19 at 20:54

If you want to known the drive name in the /dev/ folder, I normally

And the kernel will show some messages including the name of your device. Other options are

lsblk
sudo blkid
sudo fdisk -l

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 – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Mar 20 '19 at 05:09
