Looking at the devices, this seems like a linux bootable drive. Since it came with the VF1 I assume it’s a preflashed OS that StarFive provided. However, there is an up to date Linux image on GitHub that I flashed to the SD card. It worked fine for me, but I’d recommend backing up the SD card before formatting it in case something goes wrong.
