Adding msata ssd

i have a PC Engines apu1 and i am running OpenWrt 22.03.0. the system runs from a SD card (16GB). I bought a msata ssd card and iplugged it into the board, in order to boot the system from SD and have the msata as extra storage.
i cannot see the msata into the openwrt.

is it detected, at all, on OS level ?

After rebooting the system, the drive has been found from Linux. Unfortunately i cannot mount it though:

Doesn't mean you can't mount it, it means you failed to use the proper command syntax or parameters(s).
