I went the steps
Hi @Waynejnaleway.
This is normal and expected when the port is from a board that uses a general purpose USB to serial bridge chip.
Arduino IDE has a feature where it attempts to identify the specific Arduino board model of each of the ports it discovers on your computer. It is able to make this identification when the port has properties that are unique to a specific board model.
The most commonly used properties are the USB VID/PID identifiers. Arduino, as well as some of the 3rd party board manufacturers have purchased a dedicated "vendor ID" (VID) from the USB-IF organization. This allows them to design boards that use a custom firmware that produces a serial port with a unique VID/PID pair dedicated for exclusive use with boards of that model. The ports of these boards can be identified by Arduino IDE.
An alternative option for adding a USB interface to an Arduino board is to use a general purpose USB to serial bridge chip (e.g., Silicon Labs CP2102, FTDI FT232R, WCH CH340). An example of this is the classic Nano, which uses the FT232R. These chips come with a VID/PID pair provided by the chip manufacturer. That means that VID/PID pair doesn't serve as a unique identifying property associated with a specific Arduino board model because the chips with that VID/PID pair are used on many different board models and even other devices that are not Arduino boards.
In the case where the port does not provide unique properties, Arduino IDE doesn't have any way to identify the board model associated with the port and so the identification features will not be available for that port:
However, this is not a real problem because the port identification is only a convenience feature. When using the boards that produce an unidentifiable port, you only need to be careful to select the correct port from the Tools > Port menu as well as the appropriate board from the Tools > Board menu and everything will work perfectly well.
Dear Forum,
I have another critical question about tiny usb host selected with no output.
Flipping thought the web I saw some ones tools menu including a setting for this.
But my mine is missing this selection. I let the ID update to 2.3.0 in chance with would add this feature. Not knowing how your ide works I am at a lost. Please help me with this problem.
Regards,

I'm not sure I understood correctly what you mean by this. Please add a forum reply here that provides a more detailed description to help me to understand it.
I need to know the exact name of the setting you are missing. If you can also provide a link to the place you saw it on the web, that would be helpful.
What Trying to say is I am getting a warning saying ,"Tiny usb host selected" and "no output serial port". I am thinking their something set wrong so no blue tooth seiral communication is not happing. The warning is trying to relate to this fact.
Runing examples gives me no output to my other computer over blue tooth
