The camera module I have can uses an Omnivision OV7620: http://www.electronics123.com/s.nl/it.A/id.42/.f

It has a resolution of 640x480 and can output the CCIR 601/656 standard, which is just the former name of and should be the same as BT 601/656 correct? Assuming my camera output is pretty close to the decoder output will I just need to select the imager interface as the input into the VPFE instead of the tvp5146 decoder and configure my camera via I2C? How can I do this? Are there functions for using the I2C bus already? I'm having trouble following the davinci_vpfe.c, tvp5146.c, ccdc_dm355.c etc. driver files and there seems to be no documentation on these.

If your sensor is generating BT656 (that is YCbCr with embedded sync's, horizontal and vertical blanking etc) in D1 format, then you might not have to do too much. The default input to the 355 is from the NTSC decoder which uses BT656.

If the sensor output is not identical to the output of an NTSC decoder, then you will need to modify the ccdc so that you can capture your frames correctly. If your sync signals are external you will need to enable the inputs to the VPFE. It is likely that you may need to modify dm355_vpfe.c and tvp5146.c as well if the sensor raw output is a different resolution or the sensor itself needs to be setup differently.

If your sensor does not have an automatic AWB/AE mode, then you will need to write an application level control loop to manage this.

If you haven't guessed - this can be a big job if your sensor isn't a direct substitute for a decoder.

I want to use a CMOS imager outputting 8bit YCbCr 4:2:2 with the dm355 EVM. What do I need to modify within the davinci_VPFE.c and ccdc_dm355.c driver files to do something like this? And are there any other files I need to modify? Is there any guide or documentation for using these drivers?
