I have sucessfully installed the CSI camera on OPI-PC with expantion board. Works out of box. Bought it from Xunlong. Just the cheap one with 1280*720 resolution. Image is OK with daylight.

Where did you get the expantion board? Does it comes with CSI camera from Xunlong stock or I have to order it somewhere separately?

I purchsed from Xunlong. Just tell the seller you are using OPI-PC, because only OPI-PC need this expansion board.

Jacer,
How did you set 1280x720 ?
I am only able to use 800x600 on this camera, no matter which res. size i set.
Android also works only with 800x600 with this camera (gc2035).

OK.
Currently the driver support 800x600 and 1600x1200 on linux. To be abble to use 640x480 and/or 1280x720 you have to re-enable this windows size and rebuild the driver.

I attached the code, don't know you can get it (it does not show to me)
Unfortunately i still have issues with the register settings for the 800x600 and 1600x1200, we need someone to pick it up and fix it, maybe you or @Sitheek can help.
At least we have some improvments (running with dram: 480 and 1.2Ghz):
before (original)
800x600 ........... 9 FPS
1600x1200 ....... 6 FPS
after (modified with leafpad)
640x480 ........... 16 FPS
1280x720 ......... 10 FPS

Tested with 640x480 and 1280x720 (HD)
If you want to keep the original code, comment this:
/* ----------------------------------- */
/* comment _640x480_1280x720_ONLY */
/* if you want 800x600 and 1600x1200 */
/* ----------------------------------- */
// #define _640x480_1280x720_ONLY
