 bouncing an old thread but unfortunately i've not found a solution either, 
recently got a 5mp picamera OV5647 from ebay 
the camera is apparently pretty performant and high quality, videos from 
the web

but that'd require the use of the mipi csi-2 interface
there are also 8mp versions out there

decided to do it the *brute force* way, get an rpi 3 model b (important 
thing is to check for the csi camera connector)
rpi is apparently the 'better platform' for media streaming due to its use 
of closed sourced mipi csi & dsi interfaces
however rpi lacks the open sourced flare of beagleboards and in a way 
beaglebone black is more versatile for 'arduino' style interfacing projects 
due to its open source nature, its connector design & that the linux kernel 
is very much designed 'around' the beagle bone black with things like 
device overlays that's pioneered on the beaglebone black
