I am trying to create a bootable USB which I can use to make Orin AGX 64GB kit boot directly from USB stick. I have a 64 GB USB flash drive. I have followed guide here: Flashing Support — Jetson Linux<br/>Developer Guide 34.1 documentation
Running the script:
sudo BOARDID=3701 BOARDSKU=0005 FAB=500 ./tools/kernel_flash/l4t_initrd_flash.sh -c tools/kernel_flash/flash_l4t_external.xml --external-device sda1 --flash-only --direct sda jetson-agx-orin-devkit external
Gives this result:

rpcbind: another rpcbind is already running. Aborting

Error: Partition(s) on /dev/sda are being used.
Cleaning up…
I tried formatting the USB drive to ext4 and later on NTFS but I get the same failing message.
I also tried creating one big partition with:
sudo wipefs -a /dev/sda
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=10
sudo parted /dev/sda --script mklabel gpt
sudo parted /dev/sda --script mkpart primary ext4 0% 100%
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
I started to get many errors like:

Cleaning up…
Please let me know what am I missing here and how do I create a bootable USB with stock sdk downloaded/installed by SDK manager 2.3.0.12617.
