Glamo and CPU both have camera interfaces that are either unused or
re-used for other stuff.  I2C connection to camera module is only for
settings like "brightness", bulk pixel data comes down a parallel bus
that you have nothing to connect to.

Best bet for this if you are interested is the same story for all other
peripherals -- USB host mode on the USB socket, nice and neat, power is
provided... detachable...
