I'm not aware of a suitable low cost development kit involving a HS USB host controller. In so far, it may be necessary to make your own daughtercard, e.g. utilizing NXP SAF1760. SAF is quite flexible with a selectable 1.8 to 3.3 V interface voltage level. The main challenge is still in the software development, I think.

I googled before about NXP chips but my professor told me that beside this challenge there will be a wiring challenges between the USB controller and the kit especially that this challenge is not my main project .

Did anyone here see somebody tried this approach before so I can read about it and know what is the amount of work that will be done ?
