CC3200-LAUNCHXL: CC3200-launchxl camera interface

Part Number: CC3200-LAUNCHXL
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3200

I am attempting to use the parallel camera interface module on a CC3200-LAUNCHXL. It appears that it will not function without some board modification. In particular, I need I2C to configure the image sensor registers. However, the only SDA capable pin with external pull-ups on the board is pin 2 which is also the only pin the external camera clock can operate on. I can add a pull-up to some other pin that is capable of being configured as SDA, but I would rather not have to alter the board if I can help it.

Is there some way to use the parallel camera interface on the CC3200-LAUNCHXL that I am missing?

If not, is there another Wi-Fi SoC board that is capable of interfacing to an image sensor (I don't really have to use a CC3200. I just need a Wi-Fi SoC)?

    I just realized I can remove the sensor I2C isolation jumpers and connect the sensor side of the bus (where the pull-ups are) to another two pins. It isn't ideal, of course, so I would still like to know if there is a solution I can use without having to do things like this.

    Edit: It looks like the only pins that are configurable as I2C SDA are either needed by the camera interface or needed by JTAG. So the only way I can get this board to interface with an image sensor is if I don't use JTAG, which will obviously make debugging kind of difficult.

    Am I missing something, or is there no way to interface with an image sensor and use JTAG at the same time?

    I'll just answer my own question in case anyone else runs into this:

    I removed J2, J3, J10, and J11. Set the SOP jumper for SWD and configured CCS for SWD in target configuration. Then I reconfigured pins 16 and 17 as I2C, and used jumper wires between the VCC sides of J2 and J3 and the I2C pins. I seem to have some issue with my I2C configuration when I try to use pins 16 and 17, but it looks like it will work once I figure that out.
