Hi guys. I was just wondering if I can make software for the firmware, since it's open-sourced. If so, is there any documentation or SDK to make software? I am really interested in making some coding for it.

Thanks guys

The main interface that is running on the box (DvdPlayer program) has nothing open source related to it ;) so forget about modifiying anything related to the GUI.

That said, the OS on top of which that GUI application is running is indeed open source and you can create applications that run on the box (not accessible via the GUI though) if you feel the need to.

Here is an excellent guide from TSK (http://www.patriotmem.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3580) where you will find all the needed tools to create your own PBO applications.
