I finally managed to get the software to work with the GPIO version.
The module didn't work before because the ribbon cable was apparently not correctly connected into its socket. After removing and re-inserting the cable, the example program showed window with the live image from the camera.
I have also ordered the USB version and assume that'll work as well.
