Advice sought regarding unusual(?) SW version

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Hi there,

a while ago I managed to buy an IC and (matching) MCU1. I kind of had the idea to use it as a dev/staging system when playing with the software (which until now is just a plan) in order to not brick my precious car when something goes wrong. I powered it up for the first time during the weekend and expected a normal software to come up, but instead I ended up with what you see in the picture, a 2018.20.x version in developer mode.

I dont think this is what normally shows up when you power up an MCU outside of the car - or is it?
So, since I'm just starting to get to know the internals of the Model S, I'm kind of stunned here and was hoping for some kind of advice of the more experienced people around here.

regards
