I think LLVM is way overkill for what you need (which I assume to be
some sort of introductory course in computer architecture), "The
Elements of Computing Systems" [1] and the accompanying software [2]
would probably be great teaching material instead, I haven't really
used them but I've watched a short video lecture about it [3], and it
looks quite well done
