Converting Framework 12 Display to an External Touch Screen

I know people converted the Frameworks’ panels to an external display, but none of them had touch screen ability (or at least i haven’t found any). I am working on a raspberry pi project and the Framework 12 screen is the perfect form-factor (plus i have an option of obtaining it from a friend). I believe the eDP to HDMI part is solved, but i have no idea how to make the touchscreen working. Would it be possible to make a hdmi&usb driver board for the display? Or does anybody has better ideas (using the pi’s gpios, …)?

Touch is i2c HID, in case you didn’t see that.

I am sorry but I have zero experience with this sort of things … does that mean I could just connect the correct pins and it would work? Assuming Linux already has the drivers baked in?

No, you’d need a converter. No idea if those are available off the shelf.
