Please note that the 2005-T7 delivery is an option: there will be no grade, and a single upload will be accepted. The tests from T0 to T7 tests will be run on the tarball. The goal is to help you see your mistakes, and how your T7 is running to be able to proceed in peace onto T8. There will be no penalty if you don't take advantage of this possibility.
At the end of this stage, the compiler produces the very low level intermediate representation: ASSEM. This output is target dependent, and we aim at MIPS, as we use Mipsy to run it.
