Getting the Steam Deck LCD working on a Raspberry Pi

This article details how Scandent developed an open-source Linux kernel driver and Pi HAT design that adapts the Steam Deck's BOE TV070WXM-TV0 LCD (7-inch, 1280x800, 400 nits) to work with Raspberry Pi 5 or CM4. The HAT connects via MIPI, and the project includes KiCAD files and build instructions. The author tested it on a Pi 5, reporting good brightness and no flickering, though touch targets may need scaling adjustments. This provides a cheaper, higher-resolution alternative to the official Pi 7-inch touch display, and could enable DIY projects like a RetroPie-based Steam Deck.
