Is it possible to run -synth_explore in the caravel version of openlane? Something like

make <design> -synth_explore

similar to

flow.tcl -design <design> -synth_explore

in the regular version

Yes, you can run synth_exploration command after the run_synthesis. It will give you .html file where you can see the 7 strategies with respect to area and delay

Please run and enjoy the result 😄.
